It worked for about 6 months. The first indication of a problem was
nfs-mounted shares from another server was not available. The problem
was that /var was full. I corrected that problem and was able to mount
the nfs shares. It was at this time that I noticed the logon problem.

Did this ever work for you on this machine? I suspect you need to tweak
gdm.conf to allow XDMCP connections. /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf [xdmcp]
section. You need to say "Enabled=true". The default is false.
You also need to edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess to specify which hosts or
subnets are allowed to connect. For a wide-open (not recommended)
configuration, uncomment the line "# * #any host can get a login
window".
You then need to restart gdm. One way of doing this is to login via
SSH, run "telinit 3", then "telinit 5".
