Christopher:

Hello Brian, thanks for replying.

options/tcp_listen is set to true. That is what I meant by enabled tcp-listen for x11. After changing that particular setting, port 6000 opened, but the connection would still breakdown with "Manager unwilling, Host unwilling" error.

You could try setting Enable=true in the [debug] section of the
GDM configuration file (/usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf), and restart
GDM.  Then try to connect and check your syslog (/var/adm/messages)
and see if there is any useful information about what might be
happening.

You might also try turning off tcpwrappers and see if you can get
it working without using that.  That might help to determine if it
is a problem with GDM XDMCP in general, or with the tcpwrapper
code.

Refer to "man Xserver".  Note that you may need to set the SMF
property "options/tcp_listen" to true so that the Xserver accepts
incoming TCP/IP connections.  You can use the svccfg(1M) command
to set this property as the Xserver manpage explains.

I have a box running OpenSolaris 09.06 which I would like to run headless and access the desktop from a Mac (currently running OSX 10.5.8) on the same LAN. This used to work under OS 08.05. 09.06 seems more secure and I'm struggling to locate all the appropriate settings to enable remote login. Specifically, I can't seem to get OpenSolaris to listen on port 177 for the xdmcp connection.
After searching around, I've made the following changes:
- /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf
 add to [security] DisallowTCP=false
 add to [xdmcp] Enable=true
- enabled tcp wrappers
- enabled tcp-listen for x11
- set hosts.allow to ALL: 192.168. and hosts.deny to ALL: ALL
gdmsetup shows all the correct xdmcp settings. but still port 177 refuses to open.
enabling tcp-listen for x11, did open port 6000.
Any help would be appreciated.
