man kx (Commandes) - kx

NAME

kx -

securely forward X conections

SYNOPSIS

kx [-l username] [-k] [-d] [-t] [-p port] [-P]host

DESCRIPTION

The program forwards a X connection from a remote client to a local screen through an authenticated and encrypted stream. Options supported by kx :

-l
Log in on 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.
