Port 6000---the x11 port

[flashingcurser]

Anyone know how to turn off port 6000 in slack 8.1?

startx -- -nolisten tcp

This works fine, but I dont want my 6yold to have to type that every time he logs in. As I dont use remote x sessions, port 6000 never needs to be open.


Any help is always well received, thanks.

edit your startx script and change defaultserverargs="-nolisten tcp"

that should do.

I put it in the xinitrc.kde. Still left the port open---am I putting it in the wrong spot?

[gorn]

xinitrc.kde is after the server is started, in the actual /usr/X11R6/bin/startx file the top few lines have defaultservargs="" thats where you add the parameters.

Thank you, thank you!!

I thank you for the answer, too!

My follow-up question is:
After making the change in startx, what do I need to do for this to start working? Is it just a matter of restarting X? Or do I need to restart the whole server?

Thanks.

Restarting the x server should do it

Let me rephrase that lol, restarting x should do it.
