Hello all, I've a workstation that I'd like to use as a terminal server for several laptops. All are running FreeBSD 6, GNOME 2.12, and GDM. XDMCP is enabled on the workstation, but I'm not able to login (remotely) with any of the latops. If I run XDMCP chooser from GDM, it times out saying that it cannot find any available hosts on the local network. sockstat shows that gdm is in fact listening on the workstation; however the strange bit is that sockstat shows a udp6 connection. I have ipv6 disabled in rc.conf on both workstation and laptops. All traffic between the workstation and laptops is going through a wireless gateway, and I am wondering if perhaps the gateway does not handle ipv6. So I suppose my questions are: Why is gdm listening on a upd6 socket? Does this imply that gdm is able to _make_ requests via ipv6? Anyone else have something similar set up? By the way, I really would like to do this with XDMCP, instead of via SSH, or VNC, etc for the simple reason that I'm not sure I could live without virtual desktops in GNOME :-). Thanks for any pointers/advice... -Andrew
