ok, I made a mistake in the above:

# nmap -sU -p 177 localhost
===================================================
Starting Nmap 4.53 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2008-12-22 15:50 PST
Interesting ports on localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1):
PORT    STATE         SERVICE
177/udp open|filtered xdmcp

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2.036 seconds
===================================================
So this proves that port 177, XDMCP  works!


I also had to add my Vnc ports (5900-5984) to the firewall to allow
access.  Everything is now good!
