Re: XDMCP problems (was: [XonX-Announce] XFree86 4.4.0 RC2)
I removed the HasGetIfAddrs definition from darwin.cf again and tried a different aproach to solve the XDMCP problem. I reordered the connections in a way that connections of the same type as the XDMCP manager connection are send first. And it worked. :-) Thanks, I've commited this patch. I've also commited a fix for the original problem in XDM (returning out of memory when an unsuppoted connection type is sent first in the request paquet) by impementing a policy in SelectConnectionTypeIndex() (in xdm/policy.c) to choose a connexion type that is supported. P.S. two problems still are left unresolved: -broadcast does not send XDMCP requests to a broadcast address and DefineSelf() does not deliver IPv6 addresses when HasGetIfAddrs is set. I've fixed the the IPv6 problem with getifaddrs() and enabled HasGetIfAddrs for darwin, so -broadcast works now. There are still 2 problems remaining : -multicast doesn't seem to work on Darwin the query packets are sent but xdm doesn't see them. And for now the link-local address for the loopback interface (fe80::1) is still (wrongly) advertized in the request packet. I hope to be able to fix these problems soon.

I'm using '#define HasGetIfAddrs YES' in darwin.cf (This should probably be the default, but I forgot about it until now), it changes the way network interfaces addresses are collected. I did that change manually and broadcasts now work fine. but... I also realize, that the GetIfAddrs does not include the IPv6 addresses anymore. So it would solve my initial problem, too, but would leave a compatibility problem in the XDMCP code. I suspect, this not really is a fix and an additional bug in the GetIfAddrs code has lead to the IPv6 addresses being left out.

Mario Klebsch wrote (in a message from Tuesday 30) Hi! I tried your fix of the call to XdmcpFlush() and it works for me. Thank you. Unfortunately, the -broadcast flag still does not work. The X server sends the XDMCP queries to its own IP address instead of using the networks broadcast address. I can't reproduce it here. But there are 2 things that may influence that : 1. I'm using '#define HasGetIfAddrs YES' in darwin.cf (This should probably be the default, but I forgot about it until now), it changes the way network interfaces addresses are collected. 2. I've just commited a fix for a stupid typo in Xserver/os/access.c that was causing localhost addresses to be advertized by error in the 'Request' message. Can you try these 2 things ?
