    Hello everyone,

    I modified the following file:

    /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/Xservers

    so that my X server won't listen to tcp connetions. I added the "-nolisten
    tcp" to the main line there. I restarted the X Server and when I use
    netstat I don' t longer see any line listening on port 6000. Before I had:

    0.0.0.0:6000

    After the change I was expecting to see:

    127.0.0.1:6000

    The problem is I don't see anything now. How come? I thought that the
    "-nolisten tcp" argument meant that X should listen only on the loopback
    device. Isn't X client-server model? Or does it use IPC ?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jorge
