I couldn't find any docs on this, so please point it out if I just missed it. >How-To-Repeat: Install/upgrade to 4.6(.2) with XFree86 installed. Run startx to start your X server. Log in to a remote machine, and try to run xcalc (or any X program) and have it display on your local machine. >Fix: Either comment out the 'listen_tcp="-nolisten tcp"' line in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx, or remove the -nolisten tcp. Here's a quick paragraph for the handbook to cover this. I'm not sure if this is the exact page to put it on, but it might be ok. --- chapter.sgml Wed Aug 21 17:13:25 2002 +++ chapter.sgml-patch Wed Aug 21 17:24:43 2002 @@ -491,6 +491,17 @@ XFree86 4.X can also be started with &man.xdm.1;. + In order for you to use remotely executed X-Windows programs + such as an xterm, you will most likely + need to change the /usr/X11R6/bin/startx X11 + startup script and change the line: + + listen_tcp="-nolisten tcp" + + to: + + listen_tcp="" + >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
