Hello

I'm running KDE 2.1.1. Nice product, BTW. Anyway, while doing
a security scan on my system using netstat -pan --inet, I saw
the following process:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:33039           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN    
  606/kdeinit: kxmlrp

The way this process is setup, it can accept connections from anywhere.
Is there a way that it can be bound to a specific address? I'm run Linux 2.4.3


Note: this process uses a different port each time KDE is restarted.

Thanks.
