Now my question would be how to get Xwin running without -from parameter ?
If you use it without -from parameter there must either be a message in the
logfile about xdm giving up (sesssion declined error) or some message at the
xdm server. You'll have to wait a short time until the timeout happens.
I'm not sure if this applys here, but:
i found that my xdm variant here (kdm) has the option SourceAdress. Setting this to true solved my need for -from.
[Xdmcp]
# Whether KDM should listen to XDMCP requests. Default is true.
Enable=true
# Use the numeric IP address of the incoming connection instead of the
# host name. Use this on multihomed hosts. Default is false
SourceAddress=true
