I believe it's up to gdm to open the port it should be listening on. Just like Xorg did. If you mean I should allow access to this port in the firewall, I must say I've not (explicitly) enabled one on this system because it's connected to a private (in the sense of RFC1918) LAN with no offenders other than me and my family. :) [root@bsd ~]# /etc/rc.d/ipfw rcvar # ipfw firewall_enable=NO [root@bsd ~]# /etc/rc.d/ipfilter rcvar # ipfilter ipfilter_enable=NO [root@bsd ~]# /etc/rc.d/pf rcvar # pf pf_enable=NO [root@bsd ~]# -- Best regards, Daniel
