Hi there,
is there anybody out there who can tell me what ports are used in a typical X11 client server communication?
I know that port 6000 is always in use but I recognized two more ports which are exclusively used by the peers (and these are not 6000+<displayNumber> but numbers above 32000).
Is this part of the X11-specification and are each of these ports dedicated to specific functions (i.e. channels)?
I'm tired of browsing RFC 1013 (maybe the wrong source for browsing?).
Perhaps it's Solaris specific. We run Solaris 8.

thanks in advance.
 
the peer(client) ports are more or less random,
in any case greater than 1024.

6000+displayNumber is the listen port (on X11 server)
