How can I test this? I think the xdm-config file got overwritten during the port upgrade with the default (secure?) settings. I had to comment out the last setting in xdm-config % tail -3 /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config ! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm !DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 % now seems to be working fine. -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 928 8233 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
