hi all, a while ago i posted a question on closing port 6000 and 31785. a kind person mailed me off list with the correct answer. Before you flame me for an issue thats been covered on this list note that the addition of -nolisten tcp to the Xservers file (as Roman suggested a while ago) doesn't work on my installation.
Do you start X "manually" (i.e. with startx)? If so, you must give '--nolisten tcp' as an argument to startx (IIRC...).
Anyway I snarfed my box with something I was playing with and require the exact same advice the kind person gave me a few weeks ago to close these two ports. (commenting out the last three lines of some X file ?)
That's me, I guess (that's "one of the three things"[TM] I know about kde *and* networking...:-). Just comment the last three lines of /opt/kde/share/services/kxmlrpcd.desktop (or just the "X-KDE-Init..." line). or (don't remember who told me about this, sorry; and I didn't verify since I use the previous solution) put these two lines [General] StartServer=false in /usr/share/config/kxmlrpcdrc.
It might also be a good idea to post it to the list as I have already received three people mailing me off list asking if I had found a solution and then this can go in the archives in case I or someone else needs it again...
Already done in the past... better yet, I would suggest a note in the SuSE Support Knowledgebase and/or in susesecurity.com's FAQ (thanks nix!). regards nicola
