Description Dmitry V. Levin 2003-10-13 17:41:25 MSD 
By default, X server listens on all interfaces: 
 
$ netstat -atne |fgrep :6000 
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6000            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      0          38825 
 
This is insecure. 
127.0.0.1:6000 is enough for most cases.
Comment 1 Dmitry V. Levin 2003-10-14 16:04:14 MSD 
Implemented "-nolisten tcp" in xinitrc-2.4.18-alt1
