Description Bastien Nocera 2005-09-14 15:08:20 UTC 
To check whether gdm allows more clients to connect, we run nmap on the port
opened for xdmcp[1]:
nc -v -n -z -v <server ip> 177

Which creates a lot of warnings like:
gdm [PID]:  gdm_xdmcp_decode:  Could not create XDMCP buffer!

In good ol' XDM, this message is a debug statement, not a warning one.

The patch below downgrades this message to debug level.

[1]:  if you can think of a better way, feel free to tell me
