Are you sure that the hostnames are being resolved correctly? It is
easy to forget to check nsswitch.conf. If there are any name resolution
problems xdmcp will not work. You should also check custom.conf in
/etc/gdm to make sure that;
DisallowTCP=false
is set in the [security] section. AFAIK you don't need to enable xfs.

I have "DisallowTCP=false" set in the /etc/gdm/custom.conf and the name
resolution should be working. In the /etc/nsswitch.conf I have the
following:
hosts: files dns mdns
ipnodes: files dns mdns
and in /etc/inet/hosts I have specified names for the ip# of both the
host computer and the remote computer I'm trying to connect from.
The name resolution seems to work but I don't know how to verify it
though. I used to be disturbed by the long delay that incurred when
logging in remotely using ssh. I was informed that the long delay was
because the daemon was trying to resolve the ip:s with a name server for
which there is no name so I added the above mentioned settings and the
ssh login does no longer have a delay which I take as a sign that the
name resolution in fact works.
