pcdwarf : 27/11/01 06:29 PM : Incident created |
- I had a linux box with mandrake 7.2
Because I had no monitor for this machine, I used to connect a windows X server through the network (I used XDMCP)
I updated to 8.1 and now it is just impossible to connect...
(the X server is launched but I have no login window)
As a test, I tried to use
X -query localhost :1.0 on the linux machine but it is exactly the same...
(the X server runs but ther is no login window)
I searched for some howto on the net and it was specified to modify /etc/rd.d/init.d/xfs and to put
daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port 7100
(The config file had -port -1)
I check the line "any host can get a login window" in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess
I also put port 177 in xdm-config
but it doesn't change anything
Does someone have some experience about it....

- to see if your port 177 is open type in a console
$ lsof -i
or
$ netstat -an
I think is closed,
and you don't use xdm but gdm or kdm as login manager
for gdm edit
/etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
and in section xdmcp
put
Enable=true
same think for kdm but the fili is kdmrc and I'm not sure for the path
/sur/X11R6/share/kdm/kdmrc ?

- I tried
netstat -an | grep 177
it didn't return anything...
so, the tcp port 177 is closed ??
how can I open it ?

- i found kdmrc
on my machine, it is located in
/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
it put Enable=true in the XDMCP section (it was set to false)
it still don't work...
(note that port 117 isn't open and I don't know how to do it)

- you must restart your X server
to be sure config files are reload
type
$ init 3
to switch to run level 3 (whitout X)and
$ init 5
to return to run level 5
your port 177 will be openned
