FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix [REVISED]
As far as I can see the bug mentioned in the above advisory is not fully fixed. When logged in to a FreeBSD 8.2 machine with freshly updated /usr/src (world and kernel) [made on Wed Nov 16] via an XDMCP session, acroread says No protocol specified (acroread:2908): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: pc200404.maths.tcd.ie:0.0 Logged in to the same host via ssh -Y , I have DISPLAY set to something like localhost:10.0 and acroread does launch. It also launches on the console X display. I would be happy with pointers as to a fix for this. Yours, Richard Timoney -- Richard M.
