You can make XFree86 stop listening on TCP by: - Adding "-nolisten tcp" on the line that has "serverargs" on your startx script. - For xdm, add "-nolisten tcp" to /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. - You can also put it on "-nolisten tcp" on your ~/.xserverrc. - Finally, run startx or xinit with the "-nolisten tcp" parameter. Don't worry about completely disabling X listening on TCP, SSH forwarding for X will still work (at least the last time I tried it, it still worked wihout any problems). -- Gideon N.
