RE: Closing ports

[Andy <misplice@xxxxxxxxx>]

I found this on LinuxPlanet... my only problem with it
is I don't have an xserverrc file on my system, and I
don't know what it should actually look like.

<------------->

  startx -- -nolisten tcp
  xhosts +local:

  If you never want to run X programs on a remote    
machine to display on your local machine, then you  
may as well shut off this non-essential service 

The -nolisten tcp is passed directly to the X Server.
You may want to put this in a system startup file like
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc or
/etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc 

The xhosts line means "trust all clients who are on
local host". This is fine for a workstation with only
one user, like a typical home machine. 
<-------------->

any suggestion would be appreciated. I have all my
ports closed but this one. Which is used for a remote
access to X..
