XDM programs are those programs that display the userid and password box on X‑terminals. XDM programs run under superuser, who usually cannot open windows on X‑terminals. However, the XDM program must open a window on an X‑terminal to present a box with the userid and password for the user to specify. seosd therefore bypasses terminal checking if the program issuing the CONNECT request is a registered XDM program.
