Starting X

[astralflight6 at netscape.net]

would someone tell me the difference (in terms of security implications) between starting x with xdm/xsession versus with startx/xinit?

i'm running a single-user workstation, xfree86 4.3.0, on freebsd 4.9.

physical security is not the issue at this point, but rather preventing network intrusions.


thanks in advance,

j
