Hi

Anyone know how to stop X-windows and port 6000 from listening on SuSE 8.2 ? I've already tried changed the line ...

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07

to

:0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 --nolisten tcp

but X-windows is still listening on port 6000. What else do I need to change ?

For graphical logins, you should take care which "Xservers" file is actually used. Recent kdm updates on my 8.0 system changed from /etx/X11/xdm/Xservers to /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers or /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers

Would it be practical for the SuSE to update the rpm to mention this change in an email to root or in an rpmnew or YaST.new file ??

It would also be good to mention in the "Software Changes from Version to Version" section of the Administration Guide.

(I cc'd feedback with this suggestion.)

try :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 -nolisten tcp

# init 3 should also work? :)

oh yeah, try to look to /var/log/kdm.log

I've found there something like:

Unrecognized option: --nolisten use: bla bla bla -nolisten string

You have to edit /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 vt07 -nolisten tcp
