    On my Mandrake 8.0 box, I added "-nolisten tcp" to the server startup
    line in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. (There's no xserverrc script and no
    reference to it anywhere.) Then, in /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config, I put
    this line:

            DisplayManager.requestPort: 0

    Now, neither X nor xdm listen on the ethernet interface. I suppose
    this doesn't fix the case where I start X with startx, but I'm never
    going to do that. :-)
