John, I did the netstat command, and here's the response: # netstat -plun | grep 177 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:177 0.0.0.0:* 2553/kdm #
kdm is listening, but I wonder if the udp line might be indicative of a problem.

No, they're not necessary; you should probably comment Willing= out until you know what it does, and 177 is the default port so commenting that line out is fine also. > What I do know is that you have to restart kdm in order for those > changes to take effect.

Or you might be running kdm, on port 177, but not allowing any actual accesses. I don't know about kdm, but its daddy xdm has a configuration file /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess for that sort of thing. Try running: # netstat -plun | grep 177 ...and see if kdm is listening; if it is, you have an error in your permissions/configuration. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Buttery
