Normally .Nm 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 .Nm 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. .It Fl i Interactive. Do not expect to be started by .Nm inetd , but allocate and listen to the socket yourself. Handy for testing and debugging. .It Fl p Port. Listen on the port .Ar port . Only usable with .Fl i . .El .Sh EXAMPLES Put the following in .Pa /etc/inetd.conf : .Bd -literal kx stream tcp nowait root /usr/athena/libexec/kxd kxd .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr kx 1 , .Xr rxtelnet 1 , .Xr rxterm 1
