37.Sh NAME
38.Nm kxd
39.Nd securely forward X conections
40.Sh SYNOPSIS
41.Ar kxd
42.Op Fl t
43.Op Fl i
44.Op Fl p Ar port
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46This is the daemon for
47.Nm kx .
48.Pp
49Options supported by
50.Nm kxd :
51.Bl -tag -width Ds
52.It Fl t
53TCP. Normally
54.Nm kxd
55will only listen for X connections on a UNIX socket, but some machines
56(for example, Cray) have X libraries that are not able to use UNIX
57sockets and thus you need to use TCP to talk to the pseudo-xserver
58created by
59.Nm kxd .
60This option decreases the security significantly and should only be
61used when it is necessary and you have considered the consequences of
62doing so.
63.It Fl i
64Interactive. Do not expect to be started by
65.Nm inetd ,
66but allocate and listen to the socket yourself. Handy for testing
67and debugging.
68.It Fl p
69Port. Listen on the port
70.Ar port .
71Only usable with
72.Fl i .
73.El
74.Sh EXAMPLES
75Put the following in
76.Pa /etc/inetd.conf :
77.Bd -literal
78kx stream tcp nowait root /usr/athena/libexec/kxd kxd
