- Steve,
- Sounds like xdm on your SGI is running in xdmcp mode so that
- it responds to any requests from X terminals for xdm service.
- To disable xdmcp, put these lines in /usr/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config :
-
- ! Turn off XDMCP so we don't answer stray requests that we don't want
- DisplayManager*requestPort: 0
-
- Then kill -HUP xdm to make it re-read the config file.
