If you're using xdm, look for a file called Xservers and make sure it
contains a line similar to this:
0: local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp
This line should read
0: local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt05 -nolisten tcp
Note, the X server counts the vty from one, whereas BSD kernel
numbers the vty from zero. See /etc/ttys. This example will direct the
X server to run in /dev/ttyv4.

You should insert a destination target for remote logging as example
when you specify the destination loghost on the previous page(151)
in the middle.
example after
# *.emerg
log { source(src) ....
You should insert something like
# Log every message to remote host without filtering
log { source(src); destination(loghost); };
Without this it's impossible to log to remote host ...

The text says:
To disable IP forwarding, run this:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
But it is the opposite. That command will enable the forwarding.
To disable it you must write:
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
