[Bug 498434] Re: No graphical way to allow TCP logins to Xserver in gdmsetup. No alternate method documented.
I agree that this is an advanced configuration option and should not be in the standard ones, but available in some installable program from the ubuntu software center. -- No graphical way to allow TCP logins to Xserver in gdmsetup.

[Bug 498434] Re: No graphical way to allow TCP logins to Xserver in gdmsetup. No alternate method documented.
Fix works in 10.04. I created a file named /etc/gdm/custom.conf with the following contents on a server named lynx1: [security] DisallowTCP=false I then rebooted lynx1. >From another system I gave the following commands $ export DISPLAY=lynx1:0.0 $ xeyes The eyes appeared on lynx1. When I removed the custom.conf file and rebooted, I got the following message when I ran xeyes: $ xeyes Error: Can't open display: lynx1:0.0 -- No graphical way to allow TCP logins to Xserver in gdmsetup.

Strike issue 1 - found it in a readable format: http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.28/configuration.html.en#daemonconfig Now only needs testing and wiki documentation. -- No graphical way to allow TCP logins to Xserver in gdmsetup.

Found the gdm daemon to be documented in /usr/share/gnome/help-langpack/gdm/en_GB/gdm.xml although I am: 1) Unsure how a user should find this information (simplest way to access this in readable format) 2) Unsure if this works (needs testing) 3) Surprised not to see this documented elsewhere (wiki) Below is the section this bug is concerned with. Attached is a simplified text file of the configuration options found in the xml file cited above. Config file: /etc/gdm/custom.conf Security Options [security] Option: DisallowTCP Usage example: DisallowTCP=true Details: If true, then always append -nolisten tcp to the command line when starting attached Xservers, thus disallowing TCP connection. This is a more secure configuration if you are not using remote connections. ** Attachment added: "gdm-configuration.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37914269/gdm-configuration.txt -- No graphical way to allow TCP logins to Xserver in gdmsetup.
