Description Kurt Guenther 2006-05-18 12:57:31 UTC
I updated to gnome-2.14.1 (and installed another system w/ same), and I can't get the settings in /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf (assuming this is the new conf file) to work for: 

[security]
DisallowTCP=false
RelaxPermissions=2

to open a TCP port so I can open remote windows on my desktop.  

netstat -a | grep 6000 

always returns nothing, and I obviously can't open remote windows.  I've tried this both with `gdmsetup` and hand editing the file.  I've tried deleting the file and creating it.  I've also looked in '/usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf' and it seems that the configurations are there.  I've looked here and there, I've looked everywhere.  :-)

I had this working fine on previous versions of gnome although this was set in the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file, but settings are apparently the same.

Did you build gdm with the tcpd USE flag?

No response at all. Please, reopen if you did as advised above and it still doesn't work for you w/ >=gdm-2.16.4
