Well, I don't use xdm. I always have (for many years now) started the X server using startx, and I do see that startx (which hasn't been changed on my system since last December) does explicitly specify "-nolisten tcp" if not told otherwise. The thing that is a mystery to me is that before upgrading to Feb 18's -stable my X server was allowing connections. I can't explain why it used to work! :-) Bob > > Cheers - Erick -- Bob Willcox We seem to have forgotten the simple truth that bob@vieo.com reason is never perfect.
