We have a Linux box running gnome. And once X is up & running with gnome, there are about 10 ports open to the Internet, ports like 1099, etc, that belong to various gnome-tasks. Question: is this really necessary? It seems terribly insecure. Can one tell gnome to use Unix sockets instead? I'd imagine that would be much more secure. [I assume the a Unix domain socket can only be accessed be the local machine. Am I right?] thnks rickw -- Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Pty Limited -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
