You mean I have to use runlevel 5 and start up graphical mode to close this tcp port 6000? This is what I want to do. Close port 6000, not allow any remote x client anywhere but still be able to use run level 3 and startx to start X with no extra X11 open ports! If I can't control which ports X opens using startx, then I am considering removing all X stuff and just using the console! I thought maybe this port 6000 was actually the X11 or xfs font server, if so can I setup X to use fonts locally from the filesystem and not use xfs? Pretty sure that X open on port 6000 is the default when running X from run level 3 using startx. jay
