Questions

Hi, 
 
I've installed Cygwin and XFree86 in my Windows XP
laptop. XFree86 works great! I really like it, and
enjoy using the X Windows.

Now I've got questions regarding security. It seems to
me that someone could use X Windows to spy on what I'm
doing on my laptop. Is there any settings in XFree86 I
can adjust to prevent any snooper? I also have a
ZoneAlarm firewall installed. Are there any ports I
should set rules to block? In UNIX, I can use "xhost -
'hostname'" to remove the remote host from access
control list, but the Free86/xhost command doesn't
seem to have such option. Is there any other command
that can do this?
 
Thanks much in advance,
Robert
