kx [-l
username] [-k
]
[-d
] [-t
]
[-p

DESCRIPTION¶
The kx
program forwards an X connection
from a remote client to a local screen through an authenticated and
encrypted stream. Options supported by kx
:
-l
- Log in on the remote the host as user username.
-k
- Do not enable keep-alives on the TCP connections.
-d
- Do not fork. This is mainly useful for debugging.
-t
- Listen not only on a UNIX-domain socket but on a TCP socket as well.
-p
- Use the port port.
-P
- Force passive mode.
This program is used by rxtelnet
and
rxterm
and you should not need to run it
directly.
It connects to a kxd
on the host
host and then will relay the traffic from the remote X
clients to the local server. When started, it prints the display and
Xauthority-file to be used on host host and then goes
to the background, waiting for connections from the remote
kxd
.
