Disable xdmcp

[Dave Thompson_7]

The auditor has recommended that we disable xdmcp. I'm just looking for a simple answer to the "how." We're not using X-Windows. I can't seem to get my hands around what I've been reading--must be one of those days.

Hi Dave,

To disable XDCMP
Copy /usr/dt/config/Xconfig to /etc/dt/config/Xconfig, if this files doesn't exist.

Uncomment the following line.

# ##################################################################
#######
# To disable listening for XDMCP requests from X-terminals.
#
# Dtlogin.requestPort: 0




regds,

Ivan, for some reason, I couldn't access the page you referenced.

I copied the /usr/dt/config/Xconfig file to /etc/dt/config as it didn't exist, then uncommented the Dtlogin.requiesPort: 0 line.

Thanks.
