Hi. I'm having problems getting gdm to work after upgrading to FreeBSD 5.2.1 and GNOME 2.6. I want to run gdm XDMCP and connect from other machines. This has been working well for me with GNOME 2.2 and 2.4. I've copied over the factory-gdm.conf and enabled xdmcp there. Starting gdm with debugging on, I can see in /var/log/messages that it is indeed listening for XDMCP connections: gdm[1010]: XDMCP: Start up on host reverence.in.copyleft.no, port 177 gdm[1010]: Accepting XDMCP connections... However, when I try to connect from other machines, nothing appears in the log. Regular xdm works, so there's nothing wrong with the other machines. Snooping around some more, I found that "netstat -a -p udp" gives me: udp6 0 0 *.xdmcp *.* Whereas on a similar server, running kdm, I get: udp4 0 0 *.xdmcp *.* Running tcpdump, I find that the other machines are trying to connect to the gdm server at port 177, but getting no response. The kdm based server responds correctly. To me, it appears gdm only listens for ipv6 connections. I don't know how to go about turning this off. Do you guys have any suggestions? I haven't joined this list, so please cc replies to me. Thanks! -- Daniel Mikkelsen Copyleft Software AS
