[TriLUG] Is it a security risk...

[Brian Henning]

...to leave the X11 port, 6000, open at our firewall, which then gets
forwarded to a Windows machine (equipped with Cyg/X of course)?
Nevermind about the security aspects of the act of forwarding an X-session
in the clear on a public network..  I'm just wondering if the port itself
poses much threat, i.e. do common Windows attacks come on that port?
Thanks...  and references to websites for me to in essence RTFM are always
appreciated.

Cheers,
~Brian
