someone else answered the gdm question, as to ssh, if you ever connect to remote hosts with X forwarding and tunneling enabled then disabling tcp in X will probably prevent that from working, as i understand it X clients (applications) connect to that port to access the X server, no tcp -> no remote X sessions. I could be wrong though. if you never use ssh X forwarding then it should not matter. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
