How do I get the TCP port back?

2000-12-13 Thread Norbert Veber

Hi,

I while back during one of my upgrades, I read something about a new 
default -- X no longer listens on port 6000 for connections.  I didnt 
pay much attention at the time, but now it turns out that I need to have 
remote X clients connecting to my machine, and I cant figure out how to 
turn this back on! :)


Thanks,

Norbert

You have two options. The best option is to use ssh(1)'s X tunnelling
feature. It isn't turned on by default with the debain ssh packages, but
if you trust both hosts, it is safe to turn on. (If you don't trust both
hosts, don't turn it on. :)

If, sadly, you can't use ssh's nifty features, then removing '-nolisten
tcp' from /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc will do the job.
