Yup, you can specify the port number. From the ``man Xserver'' page:
XDMCP OPTIONS
X servers that support XDMCP have the following options.
See the X Display Manager Control Protocol specification
for more information.
-query host-name
Enable XDMCP and send Query packets to the speci-
fied host.
-broadcast
Enable XDMCP and broadcast BroadcastQuery packets
to the network. The first responding display man-
ager will be chosen for the session.
-indirect host-name
Enable XDMCP and send IndirectQuery packets to the
specified host.
-port port-num
Use an alternate port number for XDMCP packets.
Must be specified before any -query, -broadcast or
-indirect options.
Thus, you would do something like:
XWin -query smpd9 -port 6556 -fp tcp/smpd9:7100 -from a217447

I am not understanding why your response was appropriate. The
default port for XDM has nothing to do with Microsoft, unless
Microsoft has decided to use port 177 for one of their products. If
that was the case, then a simple mention that ``Product Foo'' uses
port 177 would have been sufficient, right?
AFAICT, it's the standard Cygwin response #13, issued when someone is
confused about the process and wants to make a point by letting
everyone
know how bad Microsoft is and exhorting all of us not to be that way.
In other words, it was a value-free message. Alexander's response was
perfectly clear and he didn't need to be taken to task for some

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for all the interest! Just to get things back into perspective...
The reason for choosing some random port number for debugging xdm was
because I couldn't kill the daemon on port 177 as this machine is being
used by other people .
I was able to fire off a solaris desktop session on my windows 95
machine from the xdm on the server, but wasn't sure how to do it the
other way round i.e. run the XWin -query command and get it to connect
to my xdm debug instance running on the different port. Is this
possible?
Thanks for the help,
JS.
