Hi,

I posted the other day with regard to the -localhost option only
taking effect on the 58## and 59## ports, but not 60##.  I'm not
running a firewall, and consider my machine secure (enough) because
the only open port is ssh.  I was surprised when I found Xvnc
with -localhost had opened a port to the world.  I didn't get a
response, and had no luck on the TightVNC list either, so I started
digging through the code and found that the 60## socket appears to be
bound by the underlying X server in Xtransam.c.  This is pretty
unfamiliar territory for me, so I was wondering if there is anyone on
this list that is familiar with the workings here?  In particular
would it be possible to modify the X code to utilize the -localhost
option?  Any guidance would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Ian
