DetailsDescription:
The default configuration shipped with XDM doesn't pass the -nolisten tcp flag to the X server. This is inconsistent with the default xserverrc in xorg-xinit and insecure in general. Steps to reproduce: * Start XDM * Run ss -lt and observe that the machine is listening on port 6000 Fix: I've attached a patch that I believe should fix this issue.

This task depends upon
And I haven't seen any other distro still disabling the listening. You can find many very old google results showing this has been removed in from the distros in early 2000's.
