how do I close X port?

I have open the port 6000 in my PC, and I want to close it, but the service doesn't appear in inetd.conf

I think if you have XFree86 running, you can't just stop it, but what you can do is run IPtables (Check out firestarter for a GUI), and have it filter or block that port.

Re: how do I close X port?

actually you can close/block that port by adding -tcpnolisten (or something like that) to your startx command or, if i remember correctly to your inittab file.

some one else here may be better able to remember the process but i believe that is what i did before (the inittab addition that is)

Open /usr/X11R6/bin/startx and edit as follows:

serverargs="-nolisten tcp"

Then you can test it by typing netstat -tan
