I am trying to get xdmcp working on a Redhat 6 server.



I am mostly following the steps at:
http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/GDM_XDMCP.html#RHEL



In one of the steps it suggests:



Edit file:
Red Hat: /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess


On my system, I do not see this file or the xdm folder. I only have /etc/X11:



$ ls -l /etc/X11
total 32
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jun 29 2011 applnk
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Oct 2 2013 fontpath.d
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1328 Aug 26 2014 prefdm
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 29 17:43 xinit
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 547 Jun 6 2013 Xmodmap
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 68 Oct 2 2013 xorg.conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 3 2016 xorg.conf.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 493 Jun 6 2013 Xresources


So far, I am getting a blank screen if I try to open an xdmcp session via mobaXTerm.



I have already followed most of the steps in the tutorial I noted above including disabling my firewall.



I also have gdm running:



$ ps -eaf | grep gdm
root 1818 1 0 20:07 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary -nodaemon

gdm 1974 1 0 20:07 ? 00:00:00 /usr/libexec/gvfsd

root 1998 1848 0 20:07 ? 00:00:00 pam: gdm-password


At this point though, I do wish to be sure I have done the necessary xdm config. But how is it done with Redhat 6?

          The only file you should really need to change on RHEL 6 would be the /etc/gdm/custom.conf. Did you set this to Enable=true and restarted GDM?
