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?
(In reply to comment #2) > 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
