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.
