Hi all,

I read somewhere that it's possible to startup the X server without the network socket open to the general world (using the -nolisten transportType parameter).

I've tried looking though the configuration and startup files for gdm to insert '-nolisten tcp' but am unable to find any mention of X server arguments.

Does anyone here know?

Cheers ^_^

Cheers for the (succinct) reply, but as I stated, I do know that that is the parameter to pass. The question was, where in the gdm configuration to place it.
