If you want to run Xwindows then yes you will have to
tolerate a tcp port open - that is how X works.
You can add ipchain rules to block connections from
other machines - which you probably want if this
machine is directly on the Internet - but then you
want a bunch of other rules too!
I don't know why kdm listens also.
Someone else know about this?
