K, with this, and a few edits to /etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess I am know able to
get a kdm login screen on machine "B". Now I would like to be able to do
this on machine "C". Machine "C" is not on the same subnet, and does not
seem to see machine "A". Is the xdmcp broadcast not routable? If this is
the case, is there a way to "relay" it?
