netstat showing port 6000
 

when I run netstat it show port 6000 listening .





what is this ?





Is it a security risk ?





If so how do you turn it off ?

mr.moto,

Port 6000 is the port on which X is listening. I'm assuming you ran netstat from within an X session. To not have X listen on that port, you can start X with the following command:

startx -- -nolisten tcp

Do that and run netstat again. Port 6000 should not appear.
