running
$ pkg_info|grep ^xorg-server
xorg-server-6.9.0_5 X.Org X server and related programs
I set up two of my machines in my network to allow remote logins via
xdm and gdm. Both are Linux machines, one is a current Ubuntu release
running gdm, the other one a decent Debian/testing running xdm. I'd
like to connect to both machines using the command
$ X -query ip -fp tcp/ip:7100
The X-Server starts, but it justs sits there, displaying the default
background. After a certain period of time the server is restarted,
without any error message on the console or in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
I checked the xdm/gdm configuration a couple of times, but I can use
any other none FreeBSD-host in my network to successfully connect to
the Display Manager on both machines. I even checked this with a
NetBSD machine.
I browsed through the manual and the FAQs, but I didn't find any
section that gave me a clue of what is going on. There is no Firewall
configured on my FreeBSD machine, and there is no security level set:
# sysctl -h kern.securelevel
kern.securelevel: -1
X runs just fine when being executed locally, either via startx or via
/etc/ttys using xdm.
Did I miss something?
Hmm. It looks okay so far, but I haven't used this kind of
environment in years (so take that with a grain of salt). I would try
debugging through the init file (.xinitrc, if the user has one) --
perhaps putting some checkpoints in that script which will write out
to local files.
