Hi Joe

There are other mailing lists on Linuxchix including Techtalk which is a
good forum for tech questions etc.

Your answer would be to nmap the IP address of the box in question here
it's myself and you can see that port 6000/tcp is open for X11.

nmap 192.168.0.11

Interesting ports on kanga (192.168.0.11):
(The 1641 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port       State       Service
22/tcp     open        ssh
139/tcp    open        netbios-ssn
6000/tcp   open        X11
 

In your firewall script you'd have to close port 6000. Or stop 'X' from
doing it in the first place which I think you can do. Somehow?
