From bug 446672: -- Additional comment from dbond.au on 2008-07-02 06:26 EST -- It still won't allow using tcp sockets due to xauth. Here is what my machine has using kdm $ xauth list 192.168.12.100:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e69ee76b144631b1f0d2495c249447fc 172.31.100.254:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e69ee76b144631b1f0d2495c249447fc 192.168.122.1:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e69ee76b144631b1f0d2495c249447fc [fe80::21d:7dff:fee6:9b48]:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e69ee76b144631b1f0d2495c249447fc [fe80::248:54ff:fe3f:5bed]:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e69ee76b144631b1f0d2495c249447fc [fe80::c8ec:18ff:fe37:eb42]:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e69ee76b144631b1f0d2495c249447fc [fe80::984e:e0ff:fe64:4dbd]:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e69ee76b144631b1f0d2495c249447fc gold/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 e69ee76b144631b1f0d2495c249447fc Using gdm, only the last line (ie unix sockets).
Any updates to this? I'm using FC10 and have added [security] DisallowTCP=false to /etc/gdm/custom.conf but nothing is creating a cookie for the IP ... (I'm using kde4.2.0) Related, I also note that the environment contains: XAUTHORITY=/var/run/gdm/auth-for-iand-nfY6vS/database and that authority file contains only the unix domain authority entry. Seems to me that XAUTHORITY shouldn't be set by the time that clients start, so that $HOME/.Xauthority is used, and the keys from gdm should me merged into $HOME/.Xauthority at login time.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
