I have replaced the real hostname with the string "full-hostname" for the purposes of this report. Reading gdm manual suggests that it looks into /etc/hosts.allow and I have listed some hosts I want gdm to allow access to but I am get the above message. gdm does not appear to links to libwrap0 the tcp wrapper library. Doing a strings of the gdm binary one does see a listing of /etc/hosts.allow I am using testing (woody). /etc/pam.d/gdm: #%PAM-1.0 auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_unix_auth.so account required pam_unix_acct.so password required pam_unix_passwd.so shadow session required pam_unix_session.so /etc/gdm/gdm.conf I have enabled xdmcp obviously since otherwise the error message above would not have appeared under /var/log/gdm and besides: #lsof -i COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME sshd 160 root 3u IPv4 84 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) inetd 4437 root 4u IPv4 18741 TCP *:discard (LISTEN) inetd 4437 root 5u IPv4 18742 UDP *:discard inetd 4437 root 6u IPv4 18859 TCP *:auth (LISTEN) gdm 8975 root 3u IPv4 22108 UDP *:xdmcp XFree86 8978 root 1u IPv4 22121 TCP *:x11 (LISTEN) XFree86 13776 root 1u IPv4 32457 TCP *:x11-1 (LISTEN) kdeinit 14343 wtautz 6u IPv4 33662 TCP *:1239 (LISTEN)
