You are right, the command fails from SuSE 9.1 to SuSE 9.1...

X11 is configured by default to NOT listen to port 6000/TCP. GREAT, IMO.
/etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers controls this, I believe. I cannot guarantee.
Actually you need to change a line in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager or SuSEconfig will rewrite the file every time it is called: (KDE is almost unusably slow as it is, using ssh -X is laughable). root@k6:~ # diff -u /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager.~1~ /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager --- /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager.~1~ 2004-05-28 06:36:51.000000000 -0400 +++ /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager 2004-05-29 02:05:12.908738520 -0400 @@ -40,7 +40,7 @@ # started with "-nolisten tcp".
