Hello: I'm using 4.5-STABLE and recently I've noticed that I can't access my xserver with a remote client. I'm not sure when this started, but it's must be over the last couple of months. I currently have installed: XFree86-4.1.0_12,1 X11R6.5/XFree86 core distribution (complete) XFree86-4.1.0_6 X11R6.4/XFree86 core distribution (complete) XFree86-FontServer-4.1.0_1 XFree86-4 Font Server XFree86-PrintServer-4.1.0 XFree86-4 print Server XFree86-Server-4.1.0_1 XFree86-4 X server and related programs XFree86-aoutlibs-3.3.3 XFree86 a.out compatibility libraries XFree86-clients-4.1.0 XFree86-4 Client environments XFree86-documents-4.1.0 XFree86-4 Document Files XFree86-font100dpi-4.1.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 100 dpi fonts XFree86-font75dpi-4.1.0 XFree86-4 bitmap 75 dpi fonts XFree86-fontEncodings-4.1.0 XFree86-4 font encoding files XFree86-fontScalable-4.1.0 XFree86-4 Scalable font files XFree86-libraries-4.1.0 XFree86-4 include/(shared) library kit XFree86-manuals-4.1.0 XFree86-4 man pages and kde-2.2.2 The "meta-port" for KDE 2 kde-i18n-2.2 Localized messages and documentation for KDE2 kdeadmin-2.2 KDE applications related to system administration kdebase-2.2_2 Base modules for the KDE integrated X11 desktop kdegames-2.2 Games for the KDE integrated X11 desktop kdegraphics-2.2 Utilities for the KDE integrated X11 desktop kdelibs-2.2_3 Libraries for KDE2 kdemultimedia-2.2 Utilities for the KDE integrated X11 desktop kdenetwork-2.2 Network modules for KDE2 kdeutils-2.2 Utilities for the KDE integrated X11 desktop I assume the problem is a configuration problem with the Xserver and is probably not kde related. I've performed 'xhost +' on the server/local display so this is not an issue. I had thought that I had firewall (ipfw) filters which weren't allowing the connection, but I see in /var/log/messages: Feb 28 10:47:21 unicorn /kernel: Connection attempt to TCP 44.133.228.2:6000 from 44.133.228.5:1260 Feb 28 10:47:22 unicorn /kernel: Connection attempt to TCP 44.133.228.2:6000 from 44.133.228.5:1261 Feb 28 10:47:23 unicorn /kernel: Connection attempt to TCP 44.133.228.2:6000 from 44.133.228.5:1262 This shows that the connection attempt is being made, but that nothing is "listening" on port 6000. The error message on the remote X client is as follows: $ export DISPLAY=unicorn:0 $ xterm xterm Xt error: Can't open display: unicorn:0 I can't seem to find from the X man pages how to enable the X server to listen on port 6000. Searching the freebsd-questions archives didn't seem to help. Could someone please point me in the right direction. Many thanks.
