xdmcp por favor

I have configured my Red Hat system to act as an XDMCP server no problem.
That is because the relevant Red Hat files "matched-up" with the assumptions
of the XDMCP HOW-TO.
For instance, when the HOW-TO says to
"[m]odify /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs and make the following changes. Change all
(this is where the Font Server port): 'daemon
xfs -droppriv -daemon -port -1' to: 'daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port
7100'", I *am* able to do this because "daemon
xfs -droppriv -daemon -port -1" exists in the xfs file.
But I am now trying to configure another distro as an XDMCP server, and the
HOW-TO's assumptions do not apply. I am using Corel, and I am sure you guys
are all rolling your eyes, but it *is* "based" on Debian, and it *is* Linux,
so c'mon... We should all be thankful there is a Linux-based word processor
that equals Word. So let's all gather 'round and assist me.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do differently to enable XDMCP? Here is a
copy of the xfs file, just in case, so that you can see what I mean:
#!/bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/xfs: start or stop the X font server
set -e
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
DAEMON=/usr/bin/X11/xfs
PIDFILE=/var/run/xfs.pid
UPGRADEFILE=/var/run/xfs.upgrade
test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
stillrunning () {
if [ "$DAEMON" = "$(cat /proc/$DAEMONPID/cmdline 2> /dev/null)" ]; then
true
else
false
fi;
}

echo -n "Reloading X font server configuration..."
if start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 1 --quiet --pid $PIDFILE --exec
$DAEMON; then

/etc/init.d/xfs reload

echo -n "Stopping X font server: xfs"
if [ ! -f $PIDFILE ]; then
echo " not running (no $PIDFILE)."
exit 0
else
DAEMONPID=$(cat $PIDFILE | tr -d '[:blank:]')
KILLCOUNT=1
if [ ! -e $UPGRADEFILE ]; then
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pid $PIDFILE --exec $DAEMON ||
echo -n " not running"
fi
while [ $KILLCOUNT -le 5 ]; do
if stillrunning; then
kill $DAEMONPID

sleep 1
KILLCOUNT=$(expr $KILLCOUNT + 1)
