[indiana-discuss] unable to export my x application displays back to opensolaris deskto

[Brett]

Ok changing that property didnt work, and has confused me a little

essentially im changing a property on an app that doesnt exist.

-bash-3.2# svccfg -s x11-server listprop | grep options
options                                  application
options/default_depth                    integer  24
options/server                           astring  /usr/X11/bin/Xorg
options/server_args                      astring  
options/stability                        astring  Evolving
options/value_authorization              astring  solaris.smf.manage.x11
options/tcp_listen                       boolean  true
-bash-3.2# svccfg list | grep x11
application/x11/x11-server
application/x11/xvnc-inetd
application/x11/xfs
-bash-3.2# svcs -a | grep x11
disabled       17:01:16 svc:/application/x11/xfs:default
disabled        8:40:40 svc:/application/x11/xvnc-inetd:default
-bash-3.2# svcs -a | grep gdm
online         17:01:15 svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default

now i assumed (im not really sure how this SHOULD work which is probably half the problem) that gdm was providing X services (and is currently working as x apps tunnel through ssh fine and presents on my desktop) so having a look i find :-

hq5 at OS200805:~$ ps -ef | grep -i x11

     hq5  4062  4034   0 09:08:49 pts/7       0:00 grep -i x11
hq5 at OS200805:~$ ps -ef | grep -i gdm
    root   440   438   0 17:01:16 ?          87:04 /usr/X11/bin/Xorg :0 -depth 24 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten t
    root   433     1   0 17:01:16 ?           0:00 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary
     hq5   533   438   0 17:02:04 ?           0:00 /usr/bin/ctrun -l child -i none /etc/X11/gdm/Xsession /usr/bin/dtstart jds
    root   438   433   0 17:01:16 ?           0:12 /usr/sbin/gdm-binary
     hq5  4066  4034   0 09:09:17 pts/7       0:00 grep -i gdm

I note the ¨-nolisten t¨ (which i presume to be -nolisten tcp) and guess thats what i am trying to defeat to have X listen to all incoming tcp traffic

surely i need to change an option for gdm, not for x11-server which isnt even running

however when i check there seems no options defined :-
-bash-3.2# svccfg -s gdm listprop | grep options
-bash-3.2# svccfg -s gdm listprop

Do I need to create that same option for gdm?
