    Not really a brand new thing, but with all the MDK releases
    I tried (and I remember with Red Hat also..),
    the XFree port 6000 is open and listening.
    There are indirect security risks with this policy
    (DoS, X server freeze), so wouldn't be better to keep
    that port closed by default?
    Joe User -and Mike PowerUser as well ;-) - don't need
    an X server listening.
    A "-nolisten tcp" parsed to DEFAULTCLIENTARGS and
    DEFAULTSERVERARGS within startx would be enough.
