That would be an option. Another would be to just use ssh X forwarding and you don't need X running locally anyway. Or were you the one that started the thread refering to a "single linux box" (not that you can't get X servers for other OSes or anything). > 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? It can be done, but since xfs is configured to use a Unix socket (and not TCP) it isn't contributing any open port. > Pretty sure that X open on port 6000 is the default when running X > from run level 3 using startx. Yes. Maybe a RFE is in order to sync the defaults with startx and the defaults with gdm? -- William Hooper
