[Solved] X [isn't] starting with tcp :D
i was doing some netstating, and i see that X is now starting with all kinds of TCP connections. i always used "-nolisten tcp" in /usr/X11R6/bin/startx and didn't have any problems, but now it's suddenly not working (xfce4. btw).
i tried starting from startxfce4 instead of startx but got the same thing. there's an ~/.xserverrc file with "X -nolisten tcp" but i guess that's not working, either. any ideas? i notice there's also hal and dbus stuff in there, which i just turned on recently for udev. before i didn't have those running (:oops: 
) could those be related somehow? :?:

Re: [Solved] X [isn't] starting with tcp :D
Those are UNIX domain sockets (used for inter-process communications) in your listing, *not* TCP/IP sockets. Check out 'man unix' for more info.

Yep - nothing outside your box can hit those in any direct fashion.

Re: [Solved] X [isn't] starting with tcp :D
when i saw "X11" i flipped out for a second. i thought udev/hald or the dbus thing, etc. had opened some vulnerability. i never would have known to man unix. thanks.

Re: [Solved] X [isn't] starting with tcp :D
Clients always connect to the X server via domain sockets - it's the way to protocol works - so starting up firefox opens up a socket connection to the X server. Same with every other app.
