When I run nmap localhost I see the following two lines at the end of the listing:

The other lines all make sense to me, but why are these there? I do have two X sessions running, so that, I assume, explains why there are two lines and not just one, but my question is "Why are there any such lines?" I do not run xdm, gdm, kdm, or any other display manager. I boot to a console session and use startx to initiate X when I need it.

If you have two X sessions running, this is normal: X11 is a
socket-based client-server protocol (even locally). There are
no relations with display managers.

Thanks.

What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
