Appendix C: Low BandWidth X Proxy Name lbxproxy: Low BandWidth X proxy Synopsis lbxproxy [:] [] Description Applications that would like to take advantage of the Low Bandwidth extension to X (LBX) must make their connections to an lbxproxy. These applications don't need to know anything about LBX, they simply connect to the lbxproxy as if were a regular server. The lbxproxy accepts client connections, multiplexes them over a single connection to the X server, and performs various optimizations on the X protocol to make it faster over low bandwidth and/or high latency connections. With regard to authentication/authorization, lbxproxy simply passes along to the server the credentials presented by the client. Since X clients will connect to lbxproxy, it is important that the user's .Xauthority file contain entries with valid keys associated with the network ID of the proxy. lbxproxy does not get involved with how these entries are added to the .Xauthority file. The user is responsible for setting it up. Page 156 Graphics Administration Guide for HP-UX 10.20

Appendix C: Low BandWidth X Proxy
Name
lbxproxy: Low BandWidth X proxy
Synopsis
lbxproxy [:<display>] [<option>]
Description
Applications that would like to take advantage of the Low Bandwidth extension to X (LBX) must make
their connections to an
lbxproxy
. These applications don't need to know anything about LBX, they
simply connect to the
lbxproxy
as if were a regular server. The
lbxproxy
accepts client connections,
multiplexes them over a single connection to the X server, and performs various optimizations on the X
protocol to make it faster over low bandwidth and/or high latency connections.
With regard to authentication/authorization, lbxproxy simply passes along to the server the credentials
presented by the client. Since X clients will connect to
lbxproxy
, it is important that the user's
.Xauthority
file contain entries with valid keys associated with the network ID of the proxy.
lbxproxy
does not get involved with how these entries are added to the
.Xauthority
file. The user is responsible for
setting it up.
