xfontserver

[Jon Haugsand <Jon-H.Haugsand@norges-bank.no>]

After installing debian with XFree I couldn't see any font server.
Well, as I try to look like a sophisticated debian veteran, I just
issued the command 'apt-get install xfs' and actually, it installed
painlessly.  The comman '/etc/init.d/xfs start' completed the install.

However, I cannot seem to be able to access it through xfsinfo:

xfsinfo
xfsinfo: no font server defined
jonhaug:/etc# xfsinfo -server localhost
_FSTransOpen: Unable to Parse address localhost
xfsinfo:  unable to open server "localhost"
jonhaug:/etc# xfsinfo -server localhost:7100
xfsinfo:  unable to open server "localhost:7100"
jonhaug:/etc# netstat --all -p | grep xfs

jonhaug:/etc# xfsinfo -server localhost:9780
xfsinfo:  unable to open server "localhost:9780"


jonhaug:~# ps aux | grep xfs

(In which packed can I find the program socklist?  I had to copy it
from a RedHat distro.)
