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.
