Nmap showed 6000/tcp open X11. How do I keep this from starting?
From PS -A, it looks like i am running gdm. How do I prevent the X11 server from listening to remote connections when I fire up the Gnome desktop on my RH 8 box?

edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf
find the line: command=/usr/bin/X11/X
and add '-nolisten tcp' to it.

Or if you startx manually you can "startx -- -nolisten tcp" without the quotes of course.
