Hi, I've got a little feature request: Make it possible to disable the Xfree server listening on the network. As far as I can read from poking around the net this is possible by starting X with "-nolisten tcp" but I haven't been able to find anything about it being possible to configure it through XF86Config. What I would like to see was some configuration file in /etc where this could be configured so I won't have to start X with extra params everytime, and also won't have to manually edit the startup scripts. Perhaps it should even be made the default that X won't listen on the network. It is somewhat of a security risk and for most users completely unnecessary. Cheers, - Jacob Atzen
Assuming you start x with, well, startx, you can fix this with the following: Edit startx, conveniently found with `which startx` Change the line: defaultserverargs="" to: defaultserverargs="-nolisten tcp" --- I personally think this should be done by default, but oh well. There's a way to do this for both kdm and gdm, if you use them, but I do not so don't know it.
That is correct - This really should be disabled as there is absolutely no need for it in a regular environment. //zhen
Done. Sorry it took so long, but it's there.
