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. -- cgit v1.2.3
