Options supported by .Nm kx : .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Fl l Log in on the remote the host as user .Ar username . .It Fl k Do not enable keep-alives on the TCP connections. .It Fl d Do not fork. This is mainly useful for debugging. .It Fl t Listen not only on a UNIX-domain socket but on a TCP socket as well. .It Fl p Use the port .Ar port . .It Fl P Force passive mode. .El .Pp This program is used by .Nm rxtelnet and .Nm rxterm and you should not need to run it directly. .Pp It connects to a .Nm kxd on the host .Ar 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 .Ar host and then goes to the background, waiting for connections from the remote .Nm kxd . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr rxtelnet 1 , .Xr rxterm 1 , .Xr kxd 8
