how closed 6000/tcp - X in MDK 9.1
 

Pls can any1 help me how to block X server in MDK 9.1,using Guarddog firewall?

I was searching here and Googled but can't find it. :(

forgot
 

I'm using Lilo with text login. Init : runlevel 3.

Assuming you use "startx" to get a gui, you can prevent X listening by editing startx. su to root then, using vi or your favourite editor, open /usr/X11R6/bin/startx

there's a line that says:

(or similar - not on linux box at the moment)

change it to read
You'll need to restart the x-server for it to stop listening (it'll happen next time you reboot if you don't want to faff about).

When you say X is listening, I assume you mean it's listening on the loopback (127.0.0.1 / localhost) rather than your actual network address?

i.e compare: nmap localhost with nmap <my_ip_address>

hi
 

Thanx for reply.
Its X server is on some 0.0.0.0,not the 127.... here is netstat -nlp :

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:68 0.0.0.0:* -


I'm working on this port 68 too.But now mostly X.

Should I then stop it or not.Even when it is not 127.0.0.0?What means those zeros?

thanx

Sorry just

:newbie:

and netstat -nlp as root
 

# netstat -nlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1758/

What means 1758?

Thanx.

Yea Just blocked port 68/udp - DHCP thanx to some threat here
:)

Hi frogman
 

I added with vi as root -nolisten tcp and rebooted,but netstat -nlp as root shows its 6000/tcp listenning at 0.0.0.0

Am I too paranoid about that?
