SYNOPSIS

rxtelnet [-l username ] [-k ] [-t telnet_args ] [-x xterm_args ] [-K kx_args ] [-w term_emulator ] [-b telnet_program ] [-n ] [-v ] host [port ]

DESCRIPTION

The rxtelnet program starts an xterm window with a telnet to host host From this window you will also be able to run X clients that will be able to connect securely to your X server. If port is given, that port will be used instead of the default.

If setting up the X forwarding failes, rxtelnet will still telnet in to the remote host, but without X forwarding.

The supported options are:

-l

Log in on the remote host as user username

-k

Disables keep-alives.

-t

Send telnet_args as arguments to telnet

-x

Send xterm_args as arguments to xterm

-X

Send kx_args as arguments to kx

-w

Use term_emulator instead of xterm.

-b

Use telnet_program instead of telnet.

-n

Do not start any terminal emulator.

-v

Be verbose.

EXAMPLE

1. On foo: rxtelnet bar
2. You will get a new window with a telnet to bar In this window you will be able to start X clients.
