 OpenBSD 3.8 kdm xdmcp problem I installed OpenBSD 3.8 and I'm trying to use kdm to connect from my w2k box. I have enabled xdmcp in kdmrc and put the following line in /etc/sysctl.conf: net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0 but I can connect from remote. The matter (I think) is that the command sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0 returns "operation not permitted". What can I do? Thank you very much      |

I'm not at all sure what you are trying to do, and what exactly fails, but sysctl requires root priviliges. It is best to use sudo: $ sudo sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.v6only You should enter your login password when prompted. For this to work, you have to add yourself to /etc/sudoers. See the man page; there is also a commented-out version of a rule that will allow all people in the group wheel to run sudo. Uncommenting this is usually the way to go; make sure your account is in the proper group. Joachim |

I don't know if setting net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0 will be the solution for my problem, I' ve tried this command because it makes kdm works on NetBSD and FreeBSD boxes. Thank You very much for Your answer. Marco |
