which one is the biggest risk?

Anyone know how to stop X from listening on port 6000 when using KDM? I put -nolisten tcp in my /usr/X11R6/bin/startx script but no joy.

True, adding that option in startx only prevents listening when starting X from the command line. To stop listening when starting KDE from KDM:

In KDE 3.3.x, edit /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/Xsession:

:0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt7 -ac -nolisten tcp
:1 local@tty2 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X :1 vt8 -ac -nolisten tcp

In KDE 3.4.x (and 3.5.x ?), edit /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc:

[X-:*-Core]
. . .
. . .
ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp
ServerCmd=/usr/X11R6/bin/X
. . .
. . .

I update my Slack and it came up a new /opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc file. In the new version there are also the 2 lines which you are talking about but there is a little correction:

ServerCmd=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -br
ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp

I solve my problem, now the port 6000 for X11 is close

Thank you
