Hello,
Its just another warm Saturday afternoon and I'm trying to up the
security of the local network. I've noticed that I had port 1024 open
and port 6000 open, presumably for wdm and X11 respectively
Since I use only ssh to forward X connections, I'd rather not have
X listening to the entire world. Googling, I found that editing
"/usr/bin/X11/startx" and changing two lines to:
defaultserverargs="-nolisten tcp"
serverargs="-nolisten tcp"
And then editing /etc/X11/wdm/Xservers and change the line to:
local /usr/bin/X11/X -nolisten tcp
Port 6000 ends up closed, but port 1024 is still open!
How do I close port 1024?
And was my method of disabling port 6000 the 'right' way of doing it
under debian?
Thanks,
Jesse Meyer
