xfce4-session listening on TCP port
Hello,
This is related to #203 (closed)
I am seeing the same on several up to date Xubuntu 24.10 machines.
Toggling the "Manage remote applications" setting doesn't seem to make a difference, xfce4-session still listens on TCP port which appears to be randomly chosen.
You can check by issuing the command: ss -tunpl |grep session
Sample output: tcp LISTEN 0 4096 0.0.0.0:42487 0.0.0.0:* users:(("xfce4-session",pid=4617,fd=13)) tcp LISTEN 0 4096 [::]:33663 [::]:* users:(("xfce4-session",pid=4617,fd=12))
Output of "xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /security -l -v" is below: /security/EnableTcp false
"Session and Startup" > "Advanced" and the "Manage remove applications" option is unchecked.
I have tried to check it, logout+login, uncheck it, logout+login, however it seems to have no effect on the tcp socket.
At this point I have no idea why xfce4-session listens on a tcp socket, and if it's a security concern that it does, but it certainly seems weird.
