OK... so it appears that having the firewall disabled is not behaving the same as in f8 and before. It seems that I have to enable specific ports even though the firewall is disabled. In f9, vino seems to work only if port 5900 is enabled in the firewall configuration irrespective of whether the firewall is enabled. This firewall configuration works: --disabled --port=22:tcp --port=5900:tcp Is this a bug in the firewall? It seems to me that if the firewall is disabled, the firewall ports that are allowed shouldn't matter. Thanks, David
