No access to the X Server over a network

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions since 6.3

Symptom:

Since updating or installing SuSE Linux 6.3 it is no longer possible to connect to xdm or kdm over a network.

Cause:

For security reasons access from other (client) computers is, using the default settings, no longer allowed.

Solution:

To allow access change the file /var/X11R6/lib/xdm/Xaccess; you can add a line with a * to allow access from all other computers or, alternatively just the names of the computers who should have access to the host computer.
