That is the X server. You can find out which program is listening to a port using the -p option in netstat:
or lsof.
You can turn off X listening on tcp/ip but still allow local connections using the "-nolisten tcp" option. |

Hi,
It's probably very simple, but how do I turn the listening to port 6000 from X off?

It is very simple, but figuring out exactly where to do it is challenging. You have to find where the X server is started from. In my case, it's by xdm, and the file /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers. If you can't figure it out, please mention how you are starting X.
In any case, add "-nolisten tcp" to the X server's startup command line.

You were right, the problem was finding WHERE to change the starting of X.
It works now, thanks!
