definition in /etc/profile). None of these things worked. Then, to see if it would work at all, I booted in runlevel 2 and did 'startx -- -nolisten -tcp". Now TCP no longer listens, and it doesn't show up on scans. But i want this to be done automatically, so if i do graphical logins it will still happen. I think it will be necessary to edit the init script where the startx command is issued. Does anyone know
Startup in the "graphical login" mode is done by xdm (or kdm or gdm). You can add options to the X-Server in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers
X runs fine without TCP listening, therefore perhaps this should be an option in rc.config or YaST?
I'm not shure because I haven't tried but I think "plain old" X traffic from the outside e.g. running an application on another machine with a display on your machine will not be possible. Using ssh's tunneling might still work though (slower due to encryption but also more secure).
