Salut ,

Unless you know that you absolutely need it, disable the XTEST
extension.  Disabling XTEST eliminates a potential security loophole
opened up by Step 5, whereby an authenticated user on the server could

Even with XTEST disabled, it is generally a good idea to leave the
server's local display logged out when not in use.

Disabling XTEST is accomplished by passing an argument of -tst on the
command line used to launch the X server.  The location of this command
line varies depending on the particular Linux distribution and display
manager being used.   The following table lists some common locations:
