Hi all, After updating to Xfree-4.0.3, I got a problem relating with xdm when used with "X -indirect". I have the following setup
1) launch xdm at boot with the line #:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X ... in Xservers commented out so that xdm doesn't manage the local display. Further, the file Xaccess contains * #any host can get a login window and * CHOOSER BROADCAST #any indirect host can get a chooser 2) then launch "X -indirect `hostname`" to get a XDMCP chooser window as in an Xterminal. This *has worked* with XFree-3.3.x, but no longer works when I upgrade X to 4.0.3. The problem seems to come from xdm, since: a) launching "X -indirect another_host" works, if this host is a *unix station*, but not if it is a Linux box with Xfree-4.0.3 installed b) In case (a), the local host doesn't appears in the clooser list where it normally does. In fact the xdm daemon seems to be killed: ps doesn't list any process with name xdm. THis may be a security related problem. I hawever has commented out the last line below in the file xdm-config, as explained before, but *nothing changes* ! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm !DisplayManager.requestPort: 0 Is it a bug ? Should I report it ?
