Interesting, note though that startx will ignore xserverrc as soon as any server options, including a display, are passed, so a not untypical usage of: startx -- :1 Will "circumvent" this. > But isn't your patch preventing the user or local admin to explicitly > ask to listen on tcp in xserverrc or .xserverrc ? Which is why the actual commit message of the patch contains: "Pass "-nolisten tcp" by default, and add a special -listen server option which can be used to disable this new default behavior." As well as actually doing so, and documenting this in the man page :) Regards, Hans _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
