trying to get xdmcp to work

Zyxomma runs DragonFly. Caracal runs Linux. I'm trying to get a Xephyr or 
Xnest window on caracal to run a session on zyxomma. Both have kdm.

kdm.log on zyxomma ends with:
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-
COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key

at which point Xephyr quits.

/usr/local/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:
[Xdmcp]
# Whether KDM should listen to incoming XDMCP requests.
# Default is true
Enable=true

Zyxomma is accessible from the outside only by IPv6; to find it one would have 
to sniff packets or break into leaf (or have root on leaf). I'm not immediately 
concerned about leaving the port open, but once I get it working, restricting 
access to my boxes would be nice.
