`man xdm' under "XDMCP ACCESS CONTROL" describes the file Xaccess,
which on Debian is /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess.  You could also use ipfwadm
and a kernel with firewalling enabled and block external (i.e. on
interface eth0) TCP access to port 6000.

BTW, iplogger and xconsole are very good for paranoia; although I'm
not sure whether they increase or decrease it...
