XFree86 nolisten option: Debian specific or general?

["Karsten M. Self" <kmself@ix.netcom.com>]

I've been engaged in an extended offline discussion with an individual
on the topic of running remote X applications under Debian.  Getting
beyond security concerns involved, the -nolisten flag of XFree86 is one
of the blocks he's stumbled over.  Discovering the 'man' command appears
to be another....

My question:  is setting the -nolisten flag in /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc
a Debian-specific default, or has this been more widely adopted in other
GNU/Linux distributions and/or XFree86v4?

Thanks.

Peace.
