Again with the XDMCP session management access.

RTFM about gdm.conf.

You do not need to use kdm,gdm or xdm to run X.

Selective editing can't save you. If you don't know what your talking 
about, admit you don't and learn. If you have an Xserver running you 
will have and open TCP port = 6000 + display_number. If you do not have 
a port listening, then you are not running X, you may be running some 
other graphical interface but it is not X.

Before you rebut this you better do some serious reading.

I have been using X for over a decade, and have yet to come accross 
a version that will work without a tcp stack. If you can point me to 
a document written by an XFree86 or Xorg that describes the 
configuration of X with out a tcp stack, I will retract my statement.
