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
