From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: RHGB was freezing when booting my PC. I have found the problem. During the boot sequence, I run a script which setups my iptables rules. First rule is to disable anything ; then I enable what I need. And RHGB is stuck because all lo traffic is blocked during some very limited time, but sufficient to drop at least one RHGB packet. The workaround is to enable lo traffic before dropping anything. Here my question : why does RHGB use loopback interface to communicate to X server (localhost:0) and not internal UNIX socket (:0) ?????? BRGDS Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. drop loopback packets 2. rhgb freezes 3. Additional info:
