Hi there, I'm on $ uname -a FreeBSD pixie.alashan.dyndns.org 6.1-RELEASE-p10 FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE-p10 #1: Thu Nov 16 17:15:03 CET 2006 root@pixie.alashan.dyndns.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/PIXIE i386 running $ pkg_info|grep ^xorg-server xorg-server-6.9.0_5 X.Org X server and related programs I set up two of my machines in my network to allow remote logins via xdm and gdm. Both are Linux machines, one is a current Ubuntu release running gdm, the other one a decent Debian/testing running xdm. I'd like to connect to both machines using the command $ X -query <ip> -fp tcp/<ip>:7100 The X-Server starts, but it justs sits there, displaying the default background. After a certain period of time the server is restarted, without any error message on the console or in /var/log/Xorg.0.log I checked the xdm/gdm configuration a couple of times, but I can use any other none FreeBSD-host in my network to successfully connect to the Display Manager on both machines. I even checked this with a NetBSD machine. I browsed through the manual and the FAQs, but I didn't find any section that gave me a clue of what is going on. There is no Firewall configured on my FreeBSD machine, and there is no security level set: # sysctl -h kern.securelevel kern.securelevel: -1 X runs just fine when being executed locally, either via startx or via /etc/ttys using xdm. Did I miss something? Regards Christian
