Hi Guys,
I'd just like to point out that for most secure installations, X is
removed from servers as part of the "remove all software which isn't
absolutely needed."
I know of Solaris machines which perform as servers with a total of 19
OS packages installed, and then precompiled binaries of the server
programs are loaded onto these machines.
Removal of all not-absolutely-necessary software iss also the
recommended procedure by Sun for setting up server platforms.
Having something based on X will be useable by lots of people, just not
by those who make the effort to take correct security precautions.
Regards and best wishes,
Justin Clift
