Title: X Display Manager Control Protocol
Author: Keith Packard
Abstract: The purpose of the X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP) is
 to provide authenticated access to display management services for remote
 displays.  A display manager will use XDMCP to communicate with displays to
 negotiate the startup of X sessions.  The protocol allows the display to
 authenticate the manager.  It also allows most of the configuration
 information to be centralized with the manager and ease the burden of
 system administration in a large network of displays.  The essential goal
 is to provide plug-and-play services similar to those providied in the
 familiar mainframe/terminal world.
