Got any clue on this or just a hunch? There's an explicit nolisten
switch that didn't end up there magically but will oc. prevent tcp
access for sure.

That's the "problem" - ask the odroid people about "automatically" (i've
no experience with that system, sorry)

I doubt the call is simply altered from listen to nolisten.
Pass it some unexpected bullshit argument ("-gnarf") and see whether
that has some impact - otherwise i'd say whatever starts X in that
environment doesn't care about xinit/xsessionrc at all.
