Overview
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.
