I wanted to kick off a app on a 2nd machine of mine, and have it display on my main FreeBSD machine, but it won't work. I know all the security things, I know I had xhost and DISPLAY correct, so I went to check netstat for the ip port 6000 being open, but netstat shows me no such port. I usually, to defeat the "nolisten" options usually set on, edit my startx file to remove any such line. You just search for "nolisten tcp" or some subset of that (tcp might get set separately) but as I expected, I'd edited that line out ages ago, when I last wanted to display a foreign app onto my FreeBSD X11 screen. However, no matter how I tried to start my X, I can't seem to provoke netstat to show my ip port 6000. I tried running my ordinay startxfce4, I tried kde3, I even tried twm, I just can't get IP port 6000. You know that without that port, you can't run remote X applications. This used to work. Any idea why it's stopped working for me? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAksNhR8ACgkQz62J6PPcoOnTVgCdHjXhyvJLuKEGFklhn/m/Z4/O gJgAoIcjTqkXQynZlrWeJ1Jkae/jH9hw =Wgtn -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
