Description

Mxconns is an X11 proxy that prompts you for individual connections, and lets you optionally disable "dangerous" X requests. Useful when logging into a potentially untrusted machine via ssh. Quick start: in your .xsession: export XDISPLAY=`mxconns -fork -hunt -verbose -icf "c" -debug "al"` later... DISPLAY=$XDISPLAY ssh -f <untrusted host> xterm
