If you're running server version 2.5, you should upgrade to 2.6. Even
though this doesn't help you in this particular case, it fixes some bugs
and enhances performance somewhat.

Second, if you have the "Host Software Tape", install and use Visual's
own version of xdm (xdsxdm). It can do about the same things as X11R4 xdm
can, but does it in a different way (heck, it it based on X11R3 xdm and was
developed long before X11R4 xdm with xdmcp). It also supports about the
same features as xauth, but again, in a different way. True X11R4 xdm/xdmcp
and xauth will be supported later this year, or so I've heard.
