Hi,
some follow-up.
XDMCP:
http://www.softpanorama.org/Xwindows/xdmcp.shtml
man XDM:
http://www.xfree86.org/current/xdm.1.html#sect7
Please note that xdm is the most generic version of X display manager.
Look at these (there is Xaccess as well):
XDMCP ACCESS CONTROL
CHOOSER
For GDM:
Xaccess in /etc/X11/gdm/Xaccess
For GDM:
[jb@localhost ~]$ ls -al /usr/libexec/gdm*chooser*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 53412 Apr 28 00:38 /usr/libexec/gdm-host-chooser
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 63088 Apr 28 00:38 /usr/libexec/gdm-simple-chooser
