I am trying to get xdmcp working on a Redhat 6 server.

I am mostly following the steps at: http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/GDM_XDMCP.html#RHEL

In one of the steps it suggests:

Edit file:
Red Hat: /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess

On my system, I do not see this file or the xdm folder. I only have /etc/X11:

$ ls -l /etc/X11
total 32
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Jun 29  2011 applnk
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Oct  2  2013 fontpath.d
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1328 Aug 26  2014 prefdm
drwxr-xr-x  4 root root 4096 Oct 29 17:43 xinit
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  547 Jun  6  2013 Xmodmap
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root   68 Oct  2  2013 xorg.conf
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Nov  3  2016 xorg.conf.d
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  493 Jun  6  2013 Xresources

So far, I am getting a blank screen if I try to open an xdmcp session via mobaXTerm.

I have already followed most of the steps in the tutorial I noted above including disabling my firewall.

I also have gdm running:

$ ps -eaf | grep gdm

gdm       1991     1  0 20:07 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
root      1998  1848  0 20:07 ?        00:00:00 pam: gdm-password

At this point though, I do wish to be sure I have done the necessary xdm config. But how is it done with Redhat 6?

The only file you should really need to change on RHEL 6 would be the /etc/gdm/custom.conf. Did you set this to Enable=true and restarted GDM?
