[Bug 707032] Add helpful documentation for -nolisten tcp
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be
reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the stable
release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test
with it so we can work on getting it fixed. You can find out more about
the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again
and we appreciate your help.

Title:
Add helpful documentation for -nolisten tcp
Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gdm
It is very difficult to try to find out how to enable tcp in Xorg. In
the "old days" one could grep /etc for nolisten and find the
corresponding file. This method no longer works. To simplify finding
the right place and to help those of us with bad memories, please add
the following lines to /etc/gdm/custom.conf
# uncomment these line to remove "-nolisten tcp" from Xorg
#[security]
# DisallowTCP=false
(I wasn't sure how to submit a patch to correctly accomplish this task
as this file appears to be generated somewhere in the packaging
scripts).
