I had already consulted them, but (as with your clarification) I glossed over it all a bit too quickly. I saw the difference as: -nolisten && --nolisten rather than as intended: -- -nolisten Once I discovered that, the command worked as intended. OTOH I was unable to discover a way to make the -nolisten option GLOBAL. eg; Xorg will *never* listen on a tcp port. While I could have edited /usr/local/etx/X11/xinit/xinitrc I didn't want to alter it, lest upgrading refuse to update it with the newer version. So I simply created an ~/startx file containing: #!/bin/sh - /usr/local/bin/startx -- -nolisten tcp exit which seems to get the job done, and allow me to be lazy at the CLI. :-) Thanks again, to both you, and Freddie for taking the time to respond with such useful info! --Chris _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
