Force vncserver started by lightdm to localhost on ubuntu 14.04
I am using vncserver with lightdm on ubuntu 14.04 on an amazon EC2 instance. I created a lightdm.conf:
#
# VNC Server configuration
#
# enabled = True if VNC connections should be allowed
# port = TCP/IP port to listen for connections on
#
[VNCServer]
enabled=true
port=5901
width=1024
height=768
depth=8
However the vncserver is started to listen on any ip:
netstat -atn:
...
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5901 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
...
I can start the vncserver manually with the -localhost flag.
How do I tell lightdm or vncserver to listen only to locahost?
localhost ubuntu-14.04 vncserver

As of November 2014 or December 2015 (depending on perspective), LightDM has added the listen-address configuration option to the [VNCServer] section.
So the section in your lightdm.conf (or the file in lightdm.conf.d) would change to:
#
# VNC Server configuration
#
# enabled = True if VNC connections should be allowed
# command = Command to run Xvnc server with
# port = TCP/IP port to listen for connections on
# listen-address = Host/address to listen for VNC connections (use all addresses if not present)
# width = Width of display to use
# height = Height of display to use
# depth = Color depth of display to use
#
[VNCServer]
enabled=true
port=5901
listen-address=localhost
width=1024
height=768
depth=8
