XDMCP Won't come up... Any ideas?

Greetings Fellow OSFers,

We have a problem with configuring some xtubes on a Dec 4000 Server we
have sold to a customer.

There are 4 Tek221s connected and they all have the same problem.

Telnet does work on each tube. When starting an xdm session the Digital
banner is displayed, but prior to the login box a message is
displayed "Cannot obtain database information on this terminal".

Does anyone have any ideas on where this is coming from? What 'database'
might it be referring to?

We can take one of the X Tubes to a different Alpha, plug it in, and
it works fine. So we're pretty sure it's on the Server and not in the Tube.

We've checked the xdm-error file, it didn't provide any clues.

As always, many thanks and I'll summarize.
