Um, I'm not using such a thing, but I imagine it would be something like the following. Call it something like /usr/X11R6/bin/X-no-tcp and symlink /usr/X11R6/bin/X to it. #!/bin/sh if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper-4 ] then exec /usr/X11R6/bin/Xwrapper-4 -nolisten tcp $@ elif [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 ] then exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -nolisten tcp $@ else echo "Couldn't find Xwrapper-4 or XFree86 - sorry" >&2 exit 1 fi -Jason -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freud himself was a bit of a cold fish, and one cannot avoid the suspicion that he was insufficiently fondled when he was an infant. -- Ashley Montagu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) Comment: See https://private.idealab.com/public/jason/jason.gpg iD8DBQE/nqBwswXMWWtptckRAoiyAJ4sGbSV/+U4/Yv3qVnFsJuYeS7whwCgyrrF Vu/aLcEzeZTjfMhMJBTIZN0= =k7nC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
