Re: [SLE] X Server listening on loopback

Quoting Jorge F?bregas <fabregasj@prtc.net>:

Hello everyone,

I modified the following file:

/etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers

so that my X server won't listen to tcp connetions. I added the "-nolisten tcp" to the main line there. I restarted the X Server and when I use netstat I don' t longer see any line listening on port 6000. Before I had:

0.0.0.0:6000

After the change I was expecting to see:

127.0.0.1:6000

The problem is I don't see anything now. How come? I thought that the "-nolisten tcp" argument meant that X should listen only on the loopback device. Isn't X client-server model? Or does it use IPC ?

It is listening on a Unix domain socket, e.g., /tmp/.X11-unix/X0. HTH, Jeffrey
