/etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc has a section:
[Xdmcp]
Enable=false
Willing=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xwilling
Xaccess=/etc/kde3/kdm/Xaccess

you need to change false to true.  You need to edit the Xaccess file (by
default all options are disabled).

you may also need to edit the Xservers file in the same directory

Nope.  But it is sufficiently like xdm the xdm man page should suffice.

HTH,
