Turning off Xorg -nolisten?

807559Oct 28 2008 — edited Oct 29 2008

Hello. Im having a problem with my Solaris x86 install in that by default the Xserver (in this case Xorg) is started by default with the -nolisten option. I need to be able to export DISPLAYs from my servers and have the X session display on my workstation (this box in question where the -nolisten option is set). Currently the sessions fail - unable to connect to my workstation (Ive done the xhost + thing and all that).

The Xorg is currently started like this:
# pgrep -lf X
19363 /usr/X11/bin/Xorg :0 -depth 24 -nolisten tcp -nobanner -auth /var/dt/A:0-.zayLb

HOW do I turn this -nolisten off? I have checked gdm.conf and xorg.conf and the relevant entry is like this:
DisallowTCP=false
which just makes no sense.

I am running out of options here. Please help!
(PS Not a newbie to Solaris. Been working with it for 10 years. More server-side. ;)
