Thanks, this was the correct point. I have added the LISTEN 0.0.0.0 directive
in Xaccess file and it works. xdm is perfect for me, I have just tried wdm since
I was not able to make xdm work like I wanted.

Thanks for the help.

xdm and xdmcp

2010-01-21 Thread rhino64
Hi All,
   Is-it possible to run xdm with remote access through XDMCP protocol on 
freebsd 8 ?
I have tried almost anything: commenting line about port 0 in xdm-config,
modifying Xaccess, starting xdm with parameter udpPort 177.

The command netstat -a never indicates that a process is listening on that 
port. 

With wdm, the listening is possible but I cannot start the X server even if the 
server alone
is perfectly working and if it is correctly started by xdm.

I don't want to use kdm or gdm since they are too heavy (almost all kde and 
gnome should be
installed with them).

Any ideas would greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Yes. I have an entire lab working this way :)

This is needed.

Same here, I use XDM for login - I don't need anything fancy. About 15
terminals running XFCE through a core2quad machine.

I'm running xdm on ia64 and connecting from sparc64, both 9.0-current,
works fine.

I could probably share my xdm config files, if this is useful.
