Hi all, by default in gentoo (as well as a few other distros as well) X is |
| 2 |
configured to listen on port 6000/tcp for remote X requests, this is a |
| 3 |
known security hazard. |

If you're using xdm do the following: |
| 6 |
edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers to say |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I also recommend not using xfs since X cant handle fonts without it. |
