  Hi,

On a client machine I invoke this command:

X -broadcast

On the server side, gdm is runnning with [debug] enabled=true and this is logged:

Nov 21 13:23:38 cassiopeia gdm-binary[1569]: DEBUG: decode_packet: GIOCondition 1
Nov 21 13:23:38 cassiopeia gdm-binary[1569]: DEBUG: XDMCP: Received opcode QUERY from client :

Nov 21 13:23:38 cassiopeia gdm-binary[1569]: DEBUG: XDMCP: Sending WILLING to
Nov 21 13:23:41 cassiopeia gdm-binary[1569]: DEBUG: decode_packet: GIOCondition 1

Nov 21 13:23:41 cassiopeia gdm-binary[1569]: DEBUG: XDMCP: Sending WILLING to

This is repeating continuously. On the client side, I see the X server with gray background, without windows.


ipfw on the server side (running gdm):

00100 624 60642 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00200 0 0 deny ip from any to 127.0.0.0/8
00300 0 0 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any
65000 79294 34601476 allow ip from any to any
65535 0 0 deny ip from any to any

IPFIREWALL is not enabled on the client (X server) side.

What did I wrong?

Thanks,

   Laszlo
