I think that the real problem is that you're missing something with KDM (settings wise), and it was overwriting the settings each time with the changes it received while you were operating in multi-user mode with your account (which should have been no changes, unless you modified something inadvertently). Try shutting down KDM, this prior to modifying the file. You _really_ don't want to connect to an X session remotely or your regular user account via telnet. Be sure that you know the security implications of doing this, before doing it. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The X server is started with the '-nolisten tcp' argument, which makes it not listen to port 6000. I've tried several times to change the .kdmrc file by removing the nolisten option (as root), but whenever I reboot, this argument is put back in place. How can I make the X-server to listen on port 6000?? Running KDE 3.5.4. Thanks. _ Search from any Web page with powerful protection.

Please top post on this list. 2. Why do you want to do it over regular telnet? It's very insecure and unwise to do. If you do want to use telnet, try running xhost after logging into the machine. Make sure you login to the machine directly with X, as there isn't any portforwarding functionality built in to telnet. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
