Hi,

Any one remember how to enable X11 in local mode only without listen on port
6000 on redhat ?

I remember it's someting like

# X -nolisten tcp

But can't remember the detail.

Any one remember it ?

Many thanks.

It depends on how you start your system. The following file is used by
startx on my box (Debian):

andreas@sirius:~$ cat /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp

This file is used by kdm on my box:

andreas@sirius:~$ cat /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers

:0 local@tty1 /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp vt7
:1 local@tty2 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :1 vt8
:2 local@tty3 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :2 vt9
:3 local@tty4 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :3 vt10
:4 local@tty5 reserve /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp :4 vt11

best regards

Hi,

If you are using startx to launch the X server you need a command like:

startx -- -nolisten tcp
