KXD(8)                 DragonFly System Manager's Manual                KXD(8)

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
