How are you trying to start a session?
rsh , ssh, or XDMCP?
If you're using rsh, you'll need the rsh daemon running. I strongly 
suggest you use ssh instead, though xdmcp is the best choice of all on a 
moderately trusted network (you're not worried about packet sniffing) 
because its "like you're sitting at the machine".

To enable ssh, you just need sshd running.

The exact procedure to enable XDMCP differs depending on whether you're 
using an XDM based login manager (XDM, KDM, WDM, ...) or you're using GDM.

With GDM, edit the config file (usually /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf) and under 
the [xdmcp] heading change
Enable=False
to
Enable=True

then restart GDM.

With the others... look at the manual, I haven't used them for XDMCP and 
don't know how to enable it.

Suggestion: use XDMCP unless you have a reason not to (insecure network 
or need for tunneling over the internet) and NEVER use rsh.
