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.
