1. xdm must be started on both hosts, but it *mustn't* start any X server
   (/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers is empty but comments)

2. The X server must be startet via /etc/inittab with the option
   "-indirect `hostname`"

3. all hosts you want to login should be listed in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
   (or use the BROADCAST option)

You can find some info about this in the man page for xdm (look for
chooser). This setup runs in our University very well.
