I just upgraded one of four DEC OSF/1 machines to 3.2. The machine, which
previously worked fine with eXceed4, a PC based X-Server, now refuses any
xdm sessions. The error message eXceed4 displays is "xdm session declined".
eXceed4 works with the older, non-upgraded machines.

My Xservers:
#
# Xservers file, workstation prototype
#
# This file should contain an entry to start the server on the
# local display; if you have more than one display (not screen),
# you can add entries to the list (one per line). If you also
# have some X terminals connected which do not support XDMCP,
# you can add them here as well. Each X terminal line should
# look like:
# XTerminalName:0 foreign
#
# To use the shared memory transport, change the :0 in the ":0 local"
# line to local:0 like this:
# local:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X
#
:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -nice -2 -terminate
My Xaccess:
# To control Direct and Broadcast access:
# pattern
#
# To control Indirect queries:
# pattern list of hostnames and/or macros ...
#
# To use the chooser:
# pattern CHOOSER BROADCAST
# or
# pattern CHOOSER list of hostnames and/or macros ...
#
# To define macros:
#
# %name list of hosts ...
#
# The first form tells xdm which displays to respond to itself.
# The second form tells xdm to forward indirect queries from hosts matching
# the specified pattern to the indicated list of hosts.
# The third form tells xdm to handle indirect queries using the chooser;
# the chooser is directed to send its own queries out via the broadcast
# address and display the results on the terminal.
# The fourth form is similar to the third, except instead of using the
# broadcast address, it sends DirectQuerys to each of the hosts in the list
#
# In all cases, xdm uses the first entry which matches the terminal;
# for IndirectQuery messages only entries with right hand sides can
# match, for Direct and Broadcast Query messages, only entries without
# right hand sides can match.
#
* #any host can get a login window
#
# To hardwire a specific terminal to a specific host, you can
# leave the terminal sending indirect queries to this host, and
# use an entry of the form:
#
#terminal-a host-a
#
# The nicest way to run the chooser is to just ask it to broadcast
# requests to the network - that way new hosts show up automatically.
# Sometimes, however, the chooser can't figure out how to broadcast,
# so this may not work in all environments.
#
#* CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect host can get a chooser
#
# If you'd prefer to configure the set of hosts each terminal sees,
# then just uncomment these lines (and comment the CHOOSER line above)
# and edit the %hostlist line as appropriate
#
#%hostlist host-a host-b
#* CHOOSER %hostlist #
What am I missing here?
