Need to have X Windows Client work with RH Linux 9

[Hunki]

I have an X windows client called attachmate similar to exceed which I use to connect Unix Machines. How do I make it work for RH linux 9 distro.
ps -ef|grep gdm
root 4553 1 0 16:43 ? 00:00:00 [gdm-binary]
root 4584 4553 0 16:43 ? 00:00:00 [gdm-binary]
root 4585 4584 0 16:43 ? 00:00:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth vt8
gdm 4598 4584 0 16:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/gdmgreeter

ps -ef|grep xdm
root 4278 1 0 16:31 ? 00:00:01 xdm

netstat -a|grep gdm
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 13721 /tmp/.gdm_socket
netstat -a|grep xdm
udp 0 0 *:xdmcp *:*

The gdm process was running by default , so I ran the xdm myself.When the server boots up it only has gdm running.

I followed a few pointers from this link , but no luck :

Thanks to all samaritans.

Yes, in all modern distros GDM (or XDM|KDM) isn't listen to XDMCP.
In order to allow it, edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf :

[xdmcp]
Enable=true

See for details http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO

Hi,

Go through attached XDMCP HOWTO doc.
You can make your X-Windows client to access.

Several of Mark Sobell's introduction to linux books dedicate a chapter for setting up X clients...
