Must be your lucky day, I just got this in my e-mail also: http://www.hackinglinuxexposed.com/articles/20040513.html "Not all X11 servers listen on the network by default any more -- this is a very good thing. The server also will listen on a unix socket, which is equivalent to a TCP port except it's available via a file on the local machine. Processes can connect to it only if they are on this machine, which makes this avenue unavailable from outside machines. " -- William Hooper
