Hi,

I recently ran nessus and it gave me some information like this ...

On this machine, there is an X11-Server that grants access
without authentification. That means a hacker is able to sniff
every keystroke that is typed on the X11-Server (or get a copy of the
victims screen).
Solution: use MIT-Cookies, xauth.

How do I get rid of this and stil use X11. Is using MIT-Cookies, xauth a
real big change??

Also, can I comment out in inetd.conf telnet shell and login and still
start a new xterm?

Thanks for you thoughts,

Eric
