Package: xbase
Version: 3.1.2-4
I have setup xdm not to start an X server, and when I say
"X -indirect localhost", I get the chooser window with a list of hosts
on the network. (Chooser is broadcasting.) If I selected any other
machine on the network, it pauses for a few seconds, and then returns
to the chooser. If I select localhost or my machine name, it gives me
a login window. "X -indirect mymachine" does work.
My guess is that when xdm gets an indirect from localhost, and it
wants to forward the request, it passes on 127.0.0.1 as the client
address.

Notes to self:
#1690: can be closed, can't repro and I haven't heard of anyone ELSE
getting a PF from xdm the whole time I've maintained it
#1691: this is actually a pretty vague complaint. At any rate, Debian now
has parse-xf86config, which is designed to catch exactly these kinds of
errors. xserver-configure (and the xdm init script) works with it to try
to ensure that the XF86Config file is kosher before trying to use it.
#1819: I do not think it is necessary to put a lock on a read-only device
like a mouse. If you run something else that grabs the device and locks
it, the problem is with the something else, not with X. As it stands,
under at least some configurations gpm and X can share the mouse device
(though VC switching may cause gpm issue protocol errors to the system
log).
#2039: I believe this was addressed last year:
XFree86 3.3.2j (4 November 1998)
[...]
1191. Mach64 updates: fix a font bug for non-terminal image text fonts,
update docs and Cards database (#2164, Kevin Martin).
#4056, 4066: these bugs are addressed by questions Q.C1 and Q.D1 in
/usr/doc/xfree86-common/XFree86-FAQ.*
#4546: I cannot reproduce this under the conditions described in the bug
report.
#5475: This problem was fixed by the Great X Reorganization.
*) If you don't want xdm to run, don't install it.
*) Alternatively, see /usr/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ for help with various
xdm scenarios people desire that aren't the default configuration
#5635: fixed in xfree86 3.3.2.3a-9 with Marcelo Magallon's patch
#5734, 6405: Folks have got to learn how to use XKB. Alternatively, they
can just use "XkbDisable", and the X server will inherit the keymap used by
the virtual console.
#5820: this was fixed a long time ago. xinit -- :1 [other server args]
works just fine.
#6400: I can't reproduce this. I do not get a coredump when starting an
xfs when another one is already running. Font services continue to work
fine.
#7354: I tried to reproduce this and couldn't.
#7553: This was fixed in the Great X Reorganization.
#7886: if emacs doesn't know what to do with a key event, that's emacs's
problem

Hi,
A very long time ago, you reported a bug to the Debian BTS regarding xdm
not correctly forwarding indirect requests from localhost (using sender
IP 127.0.0.1 instead of the actual one). Did you reproduce this problem
recently? With Xorg/Etch? If not, I will close this bug in the next weeks.
Thanks,
Brice

Subject: xdm won't redirect to remote machines.
Package: xbase
Version: 3.1.2-4
I have setup xdm not to start an X server, and when I say
"X -indirect localhost", I get the chooser window with a list of hosts
on the network. (Chooser is broadcasting.) If I selected any other
machine on the network, it pauses for a few seconds, and then returns
to the chooser. If I select localhost or my machine name, it gives me
a login window. "X -indirect mymachine" does work.
My guess is that when xdm gets an indirect from localhost, and it
wants to forward the request, it passes on 127.0.0.1 as the client
address.
