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

-w
Use term_emulator instead of xterm.
-b

-n
Do not start any terminal emulator.
-v

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