NAME¶
pinentry-x2go - PIN or pass-phrase add-on for X2Go Client
SYNOPSIS¶
pinentry-x2go [OPTION...]
DESCRIPTION¶
pinentry-x2go is an add-on for X2Go Client. It allows for secure entry of
PINs or pass phrases. That means it tries to take care that the entered
information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere.
pinentry-x2go is typically used internally by
x2goclient evoked by
gpg-agent. Users don't normally have a reason to call it directly.
OPTIONS¶
- --version
- Print the program version and licensing information.
- --help
- Print a usage message summarizing the most useful command-line
options.
- --debug, -d
- Turn on some debugging. Mostly useful for the maintainers. Note that this
may reveal sensitive information like the entered pass phrase.
- --enhanced, -e
- Ask for timeouts and insurance, too. Note that this is currently not fully
supported.
- --no-global-grab, -g
- Grab the keyboard only when the window is focused. Use this option if you
are debugging software using pinentry-x2go; otherwise you may not
be able to to access your X session anymore (unless you have other means
to connect to the machine to kill pinentry-x2go).
- --parent-wid N
- Use window ID N as the parent window for positioning the window.
Note, that this is not fully supported by all flavors of
pinentry.
- --display STRING, --ttyname STRING,
--ttytype STRING, --lc-type STRING,
--lc-messages STRING
- These options are used to pass localization information to
pinentry-qt. They are required because pinentry-qt is
usually called by some background process which does not have any
information on the locale and terminal to use. Assuan protocol options are
an alternative way to pass these information.
