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.
