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.
