As indicated a few times already in this thread - this is not the
default behavior. I suspect one of the following;

- modified gdm.conf
- not using gdm to login
- not using FC1

Easy thing to do is (assuming you are logging into gdm) :

-----------

[asterix]: rpm -qV gdm
[asterix]: ps auxww |grep X
root      2618  0.6  3.0 79160 31012 ?       S    May12   7:53 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7

<notice the  '-nolisten tcp' option>
