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

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.
