I know Linux is fully network oriented... so I gotta be careful with this. I've been testing a firewall script for a few days now.. and it works fine, so I think it's ready to get invoked at boot-time. The only thing I am worried about, is that I've read around that you can actually lock yourself from establishing a connection to an X server, so... what should I add to the chains in order to make sure I won't bump into problems? Would adding a "iptables -t filter -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT" be enough? Would there be any security risks in doing so? Or is there anything else I should take in consideration? I would do a search on this.. but I have no idea how to search for problems related to the 'x server'.
