tenletxr1

Forward x-connections backwards.

Usage

Overview

The tenletxr program enables forwarding of X-connections from this machine to host host. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default.

The supported options are:

-l

Log in on the remote host as user username

-k

Disables keep-alives.

Examples

To login from host foo to host bar (where your display is), you might do the following.

  1. On foo: tenletxr bar

  2. You will get a new shell where you will be able to start X clients that will show their windows on bar.
