[OpenIndiana-discuss] XDMCP not working

[Robin Axelsson]

Hello
I want to open up an XDMCP Session with my OpenIndiana machine from a 
remote computer on a local network but it doesn't work. I can only run 
multiple-window programs via PuTTy (in Xming for windows) but when I 
want to establish a session, all I get is a gray screen.

The following measures were taken:
In /etc/X11/gdm/custom.conf I have set in the section Xdmcp 'Enable=true'
I have set ' svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server setprop 
options/tcp_listen=true'

I have verified that the following services are running
online         Feb_05   svc:/application/graphical-login/gdm:default
online         Feb_05   svc:/application/x11/xfs:default

I tried "netstat -an |  grep 177":
       *.177                               Idle
       *.177                                                         Idle
ffffff01ef7020b8 stream-ord 0000000 0000000 
/var/tmp/orbit-Robin/linc-64d-0-4d4dd33177c6d
ffffff01ef702468 stream-ord 0000000 ffffff01e591c480                
/var/tmp/orbit-Robin/linc-64d-0-4d4dd33177c6d
ffffff01ef702818 stream-ord ffffff01e591c480 0000000 
/var/tmp/orbit-Robin/linc-64d-0-4d4dd33177c6d
ffffff01d89d1770 dgram      ffffff01d945e500 0000000 /var/run/in.ndpd_mib

So there seems to be something going on on that port (which I assume is 
the default port that the XDMCP sever listens to).

I fiddled with Xming specifying -port 177 explicitly and tried indirect 
connection without success. I treid to run gdmsetup but that command 
doesn't exist. There is no instance of it in /usr/sbin/. I tried going 
root entering: DISPLAY=<remote computer's local IP#>:0.0;export 
DISPLAY;xhost +, but that didn't solve the problem. I also tried 
broadcast and I also made sure that port 177 is open in the Windows 
firewall.
