Bug#327097: Problem fixed
It used to work with the initial configuration, but something happened in the latest upgrade that broke it. I fixed it but maybe IPV6 should not be enabled by default, it is not compiled in thy kernel :) (if it's the problem) Today I tried to connect remotely to Wolfe and Colborne xdm servers but my Exceed client has never been able to connect to one of these. Looking throught the megabytes of logfiles, I found that interesting log part: Wed Sep 7 13:05:22 2005 xdm info (pid 31630): starting Wed Sep 7 13:05:22 2005 xdm error (pid 31630): XDMCP socket creation failed: Address family not supported by protocol Wed Sep 7 13:05:22 2005 xdm info (pid 31630): starting X server on :0 The first thing I did was creating a bug report. Then I increased the log level of the xdm daemon by adding DisplayManager.debugLevel: 10 to "/etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config". Then I restarted the xdm daemon.
