On my laptop, I would like to set the X server to bind to port 600 on 127.0.0.1, not all interfaces. Or to not listen on TCP at all. IIRC, that works too. From the console, I can do "startx -- -nolisten tcp" How do I tell KDM on SuSE 8.2 to do that? TIA, Jeffrey

Edit /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers or possibly /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers, depending on whether you've upgraded kde and whether the upgrade was sane. They usually aren't. Check both.

The first choice works on both my 8.2 workstation and my 9.0 laptop. Thanks for the help. Jeffrey
