To reenable remote access again, insert a line containing a single * before
line with the comment "#no host can get a login window"
in the file
/var/X11R6/lib/xdm/Xaccess
. As an alternative, only enter the names of
those machines for which access should be enabled.
Beginning with SuSE Linux 6.4, you also have to edit the file
/var/X11R6/lib/xdm/xdm-config
:
! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests ! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
Please add a comment sign (the exclamation mark) in front of the last line. This allows logging in from remote machines.
The line should then look like this:! DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
