Wade, please reread the post. GDM is NOT listening on 6000, so your changes to gdm.conf will NOT affect that. It is not a bug, you are looking at the wrong software. Reread the post from Ben Russo, it contains your answers (despite the goof on xhost+, don't do that). Cheers, Bill -- Bill Anderson RHCE #807302597505773 bill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
