Hi, people I installed FreeBSD using the "7.0-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso" CD image. After I installed Gnome (pkg_add -r gnome2), I was able to start it on the FreeBSD and show it on my GNU/Linux workstation like this: 1) (Xnest :1 &) ; terminal --display=:1 2) in the "Xnested" terminal: ssh -Y bsd.example.org gnome-session & (Ctrl+D) Next I started gdmsetup on the FreeBSD system and enabled "Remote Login" (XDMCP). It was followed by a "gdm-restart". No error messages, everything seems fine, but I can not connect to the FreeBSD box issuing "Xnest -query bsd.example.org :2" from the workstation. The above steps are usually enough to get XDMCP working between GNU/Linux hosts. Actually the reverse scenario works just fine - I was able to get my GNU/Linux Gnome showing on the FreeBSD system via XDMCP. The two hosts are on the same HUB and in the same /24 private network. What am I missing in the FreeBSD setup? P.S. /* off-topic I'm new to the *BSD world and it's my first message to this list. So, I'd like to ask if there are any special rules here that I should know about? Would "no html, no thread-hijacking, no top-posting" be enough to avoid offending the more sensitive folks on the list when it comes to correct e-mail formatting? */ -- Best regards, Daniel
