[Solved] xdm won't listen on xdmcp port 177

Hi,

I'm Trying to setup xdm to accept xdmcp request.  Using the steps in the wiki listed here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdmcp

I commented out the line in xdm-conf

! SECURITY: do not listen for XDMCP or Chooser requests
! Comment out this line if you want to manage X terminals with xdm
!DisplayManager.requestPort:    0

Also modified Xaccess to allow all hosts:

*                                       #any host can get a login window

Then i check if it's listening by issuing this command:

[root@myhost ~]# ss -lnut
Netid  Recv-Q Send-Q          Local Address:Port            Peer Address:Port
tcp    0      50                          *:139                        *:*
tcp    0      50                         :::139                       :::*
tcp    0      64                          *:5901                       *:*
tcp    0      128                         *:6000                       *:*

tcp    0      128                        :::22                        :::*
tcp    0      128                         *:22                         *:*
tcp    0      50                          *:445                        *:*
tcp    0      50                         :::445                       :::*
tcp    0      5                           *:33092                      *:*

Doesn't appear to be listening on port 177 and it is definitely not working.

Any ideas?

Re: [Solved] xdm won't listen on xdmcp port 177

Nevermind, i used the wrong command:

ss -ua

shows that it is listening
