I configured xfs (X Font Server) to server on tcp port 7100 but it never opens it. I tried several different configurations and I ended up with this: lab root # grep PORT /etc/conf.d/xfs XFS_PORT="7100" lab root # grep tcp /etc/X11/fs/config # no tcp, use sockets! #no-listen
I configured xfs (X Font Server) to server on tcp port 7100 but it never opens it. I tried several different configurations and I ended up with this: lab root # grep PORT /etc/conf.d/xfs XFS_PORT="7100" lab root # grep tcp /etc/X11/fs/config # no tcp, use sockets! #no-listen = tcp lab root # grep port /etc/X11/fs/config port = 7100 (I tried with the lattest option and without it, it didn't chage) I started xfs: lab root # /etc/init.d/xfs start * Scanning font directories... [ ok ] * Starting X Font Server... [ ok ] and this two commands show that xfs is not opening any tcp or udp port: lab root # netstat -l Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State udp 0 0 *:32771 *:* udp 0 0 *:xdmcp *:* udp 0 0 *:bootps *:* raw 0 0 *:icmp *:* 7 # lsof | grep xfs xfs 32608 xfs cwd DIR 3,3 4096 2 / xfs 32608 xfs rtd DIR 3,3 4096 2 / xfs 32608 xfs txt REG 3,3 89068 10895498 /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 82944 2326578 /lib/ld-2.3.2.so xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 723061 6373606 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.so.1.4 xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 154728 2326556 /lib/libm-2.3.2.so xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 1292284 2326595 /lib/libc-2.3.2.so xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 64440 6373503 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6.4 xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 1006970 6373490 /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.2 xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 10864 2326604 /lib/libdl-2.3.2.so xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 27752 2326603 /lib/libnss_compat-2.3.2.so xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 76652 2326617 /lib/libnsl-2.3.2.so xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 33328 2326553 /lib/libnss_nis-2.3.2.so xfs 32608 xfs mem REG 3,3 35640 2326532 /lib/libnss_files-2.3.2.so xfs 32608 xfs 0u CHR 1,3 3303 /dev/null xfs 32608 xfs 1u CHR 1,3 3303 /dev/null xfs 32608 xfs 2u CHR 1,3 3303 /dev/null xfs 32608 xfs 3u unix 0xde181200 2716499 /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100 just as a side not: $ ps ax | grep xfs 32608 ? S 0:00 /usr/X11R6/bin/xfs -daemon -config /etc/X11/fs/config -droppriv -user xfs -port 7100 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure XFS to open a tcp port 2. Run XFS 3. Check that the port is not being opened Actual Results: XFS run without opening the tcp port Expected Results: Opening the tcp port.

>> 2716499 /tmp/.font-unix/fs7100 It looks like it opened an unix socket. Btw do you still have this problem ? What are you using ? xfree ? xorg ? wich version ?
This is an upstream issue. Please file an upstream bug if this problem remains with modular X at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product. Then post the URL here.
