    port 6000

    Hi, the Port 6000 is X. As it is a robust flexible GUI at allows connections from/to other computers. Closing the port im unsure of, but u can protect it, just change your /etc/hosts.deny and change the entry to ALL:6000 (i think thats the format). that will deny all hosts to port 6000.

    alternativly use ipchains/iptables to block out the port on a certain interface.

    Enode has a good suggestion, or, you could make X stop listening on that port by editing

    /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers

    and changing the line which reads

    :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X

    to read

    :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp

    good luck.

    Oops, forgot to add

    You will need to restart X after that.
