I'm not sure exactly who or what is launching X, but since /etc/X11/X is just a symlink to /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86, you could remove it and replace with the following script (remember to remove the symlink first): #!/bin/bash exec /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 -nolisten tcp $@ It may not be the most elegant solution, but it does stop X from listening on port 6000. -- Trevor Hamm _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
