Yes, it is possible to run xfs so that it will serve the network,
instead of just one machine. The biggest advantage is that you only
need one copy of the fonts for the entire network. By default, this is
turned off for RedHat, but you can enable it. You have to change:
"daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon -port -1" to
"daemon xfs -droppriv -daemon" in /etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs. You then need
to change /etc/X11/XF86Config from
FontPath "unix/:-1"
to
FontPath "<hostname>:7100"
(I think I get that right - working from memory.)
