Hi all, by default in gentoo (as well as a few other distros as well) X is
configured to listen on port 6000/tcp for remote X requests, this is a
known security hazard.
If you're using xdm do the following:
edit /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers to say
local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp
I also recommend not using xfs since X cant handle fonts without it.

What's the difference between root and God ?
God doesn't think that he is root.
