--- Begin Message ---Package: xinit Version: 1.0.8-1 Severity: normal DSCRIPTION The default installation of /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc reads: exec /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp The default settings understandably block the TCP connections, but offer no easy way to have local settings -- other than modifying the file directly; which unfortunately would cause conflicts during upgrade. SUGGESTION The options passed to X could be made configurable with following change: 1. introduce /etc/default/xserverrc # Comment this out to enable TCP connections X_OPT="-nolisten tcp" 2. Have /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc read: [ -f /etc/default/xserverrc ] && . /etc/default/xserverrc exec /usr/bin/X11/X $X_OPT -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-2-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xinit depends on: ii cpp 4:4.2.3-7 The GNU C preprocessor (cpp) ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library xinit recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
