Public bug reported:
The venerable xdm provides support for xdmcp as needed for remote logins
and Xvnc. It had been working fine until recently when an update seemed
to have broken xdm support for xdmcp. Note that xdm itself does not
appear to have been updated in years. xdm is especially needed when the
preferred display manager for local logins does not support xdmcp.
The problem is clear enough using the output from netstat -tl. Normally,
xdm should be listening on the IPv6 port 177/xdmcp. Instead it seems to
be listening on a random port which changes each time it is invoked.
Telneting to this port with xdm in debug mode confirms that this is the
xdmcp port.
