Dear Gurus,

Some time ago I asked a question about XDMCP, and I did not summarize
because my question was not properly stated.
Here is my problem:

- here on the LAN, we have about 15 X-terms (DEC and NCD) working
  gracefully with our 2100 server (DU 3.2c)

- now, some users from a *remote* site would like to establish X sessions
  on the server from their X-terms (or PC or Macs with emulators). The
  remote X-terms boot on a remote machine, not on our 2100.
  It seems to be impossible to establish a session:
  - if they try a direct connection, nothing happens but "host/network
    not responding"
  - now, through their local server or with their telnet emulator, they
    establish a telnet session on our server, then "setenv DISPLAY xxx:0"
    and finally "dxsession".
    The answer is: "failed to start remote session manager -
    access denied"

I sure miss something somewhere......
  
My file /var/adm/Xaccess contains one uncommented line with a "*", thus
I think that there is no access restriction?

There is no "deny" or "allow" file.

Could you help me?
