Hi !
since i use X only on localhost and open remote x-windows only via ssh-tunneling,
i wonder why my xserver is listening on 0.0.0.0:6000.
an interface binding to 127.0.0.1:6000 would be sufficient and more secure.
lets say i have 2 network interfaces - one connected to the internet and one to
the localnet. how can i configure X that it binds to localnet-interface only?

You can use the '-nolisten tcp' option suppress listening on tcp completely in your
case.
If you're using xdm, you can add the option to /etc/X11/xdm/Xserver. If you're using
startx to start the server, you can use 'startx -- -nolisten tcp' or create a ~/.xserverrc
file to specify the option. See the Xserver(1) and xinit(1) manual pages for more details.
