NAME

       kxd — securely forward X conections

SYNOPSIS

       kxd [-t] [-i] [-p port]

DESCRIPTION

       This is the daemon for kx.

       Options supported by kxd:

       -t      TCP.   Normally  kxd  will only listen for X connections on a UNIX socket, but some machines (for
               example, Cray) have X libraries that are not able to use UNIX sockets and thus you  need  to  use
               TCP  to  talk  to  the  pseudo-xserver  created  by  kxd.   This  option  decreases  the security
               significantly and should only  be  used  when  it  is  necessary  and  you  have  considered  the
               consequences of doing so.

       -i      Interactive.   Do  not  expect  to  be  started  by  inetd, but allocate and listen to the socket
               yourself.  Handy for testing and debugging.

       -p      Port.  Listen on the port port.  Only usable with -i.

EXAMPLES

       Put the following in /etc/inetd.conf:

       kx      stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/athena/libexec/kxd kxd
