Scott M. Nolde <scott@smnolde.com> types: > Perhaps if you export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0 then X will only listed to it > on the localhost interface. Nope. The correct answer "-nolisten tcp" has already been given. That flag needs to be passed to the server. If it is, then you can't connect to localhost:0.0, but only to :0.0. For xdm - which is what I believe Manuel is using - the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers needs to be changed to start X with this line: :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp I haven't tested it, as I don't use XDM, but it ought to work. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
