-nolisten tcp for X

ferreter · 07-14-2004, 06:56 PM

Hello,

I installed Fedora 2 core at work and I need to know where to disable X from listening w/ the above setting. What file do I need to edit, I've edited the gdm.conf and the xdm.conf to no avail.

Thanks!

Hi.

Try aliasing startx (or xinit or whatever) in either your ~/.bash_profile or /etc/bashrc
e.g.
alias startx='startx -- -nolisten tcp'

Try '/etc/X11/xdm/Xservers':

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7 -dpi 96 -nolisten tcp
:1 local reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8 -dpi 96 -nolisten tcp

I edited Xservers and only had this one entry (which I had added the proper flags to earlier)

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp

But it still seems to be listening when I run netcat -a (unless I'm reading the results incorrectly)
