After upgrading to 2.7.9, there appears to be a very serious regression in that the X server is no longer listening for connections from remote hosts. In Preferences, "Allow connections from network clients" is checked. csm-mbp:~% echo $DISPLAY /tmp/launch-pxDLeK/org.macosforge.xquartz:0 csm-mbp:~% xhost + access control disabled, clients can connect from any host csm-mbp:~% netstat -ln | grep 6000 csm-mbp:~% defaults read org.macosforge.xquartz.X11 nolisten_tcp 0 csm-mbp:~% ps -x | grep X11 39163 ?? 0:06.10 /Applications/Utilities/XQuartz.app/Contents/MacOS/X11.bin 39174 ?? 0:00.00 /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/launchd_startx /opt/X11/bin/startx -- /opt/X11/bin/Xquartz 39175 ?? 0:00.00 /bin/sh /opt/X11/bin/startx -- /opt/X11/bin/Xquartz 39243 ?? 0:00.00 /opt/X11/bin/xinit /opt/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /opt/X11/bin/Xquartz :0 39244 ?? 0:00.00 /opt/X11/bin/Xquartz :0 39312 ?? 0:00.13 /opt/X11/bin/quartz-wm 39558 ttys002 0:00.00 grep X11 % uname -a Darwin csm-mbp 13.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.4.0: Mon Jan 11 18:17:34 PST 2016; root:xnu-2422.115.15~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
Further note: downgrading to 2.7.8 restored listening on port 6000.
