XDMCP / CDE Questions

I am attempting to tighten up the security on our Tru64 5.1B server
(with current security patches) but I am having some difficulties with
understanding XDMCP services.

Background: We currently run CDE on the server console, but do not use
any "X Windows" PC Workstation applications to connect to it. For added
security, I would like to disable the XDMCP services on the server.

Questions: What Tru64 process or services are related to the XMDCP?
Can I disable the XDMCP services on the server without affecting the use
of CDE on the console? What are the steps to correctly disable this
service? If I cannot disable this service because it will affect the
use of CDE on the console, how can I strengthen its security
configuration?

Thank you for your time.
