X Server port 6000 (solved)

Ok, I used to know this but apparently I have forgotten.

I am running a fedora core 2 system using Xorg for X.

How do I go about starting X so that it creates the X server listening on port 6000
to it can accept incoming tcp connections.

I cannot seem to remember where this is set.

By the way, I have my firewall off I don't think thats the problem.

Edit
Remembered, I needed to set the TCPDisallow=false in gdm.conf
 
Just so you know...


The X server is the part with the screen, the keyboard, and the human. It's were you are to receive the information.

A X client is the remote part, and can be any program.

I am guessing that you want to have a X server connect into a X client to get a login screen.

In that case the client you want to setup is the XDM/GDM or KDM to use the xdmcp protocol to allow graphical logins.

In my system (debian unstable) the configuration file for GDM is /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf, and it has lots of notes on how to set it up inside the file.

GDM's setup is quite a bit different then KDM or XDM. It doesn't have lots of the "questionable" or unsafe setup options that others have.

here is a howto for setting up a effective xdmcp X-terminal type enviroment with font handling and all that.
