KX(1)
NAME
kx -- securely forward X conections
SYNOPSIS
kx [-l username] [-k] [-d] [-t] [-p port] [-P] host
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.
