Hello,

I am running solaris 2.8 and ipfilter. REcently I enabled X access through my firewall for specific xterm machines
by adding the following line to ipf.conf

# X access
pass in quick on hme0 proto udp from 129.94.163.169 to 129.94.163.184 port = 177 keep state
pass in quick on hme0 proto udp from 129.94.162.67 to 129.94.163.184 port = 177 keep state

however now due to the increasing number of users I would just like the server to broadcast to the network.
If I turn off IPfilter the machine turns up on xterms chooser screens but as soon as I start up the firewall
it disappears. Even if I free up the command in ipf.conf to enable access for all machines to udp port 177.

Does anyone know is there some other port I should enable access to so that my server shows up on chooser screens?

Many Thanks,

melinda
