Well, I bit the bullet a few nights ago, pkg_delete'd XFree86 3, and
installed the package of 4 on my stable 4.2 box.

Went through and enabled xdmcp management in my xdm-config file, and
verified all hosts are allowed to connect in the Xaccess file.

I attempt to connect via exceed, and I never see the xdm login screen, 
either via a xdmcp broadcast, or a direct query.

The xdm-errors file shows the following:

xdm error (pid 12326): Cannot convert Internet address 1.0.0.1 to host name
xdm error (pid 12326): Cannot convert Internet address 1.0.0.1 to host name
xdm error (pid 12326): Cannot convert Internet address 1.0.0.1 to host name
xdm error (pid 12326): Cannot convert Internet address 1.0.0.1 to host name
.... etc etc etc

Has anyone seen this before?  1.0.0.1 is most definitly NOT my IP address
on my exceed machine - and it does have a valid forward and reverse IP.

I don't believe it to be anything misconfigured on my network as a whole,
mainly since XFree86 3.3.6 was working ok.

Not sure where xdm is pulling that IP from, or how to fix.
