X2Go(1)                     General Commands Manual                    X2Go(1)

NAME
       pinentry-x2go - PIN or pass-phrase add-on for X2Go Client

SYNOPSIS
       pinentry-x2go [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION
       pinentry-x2go  is an add-on for X2Go Client. It allows for secure entry
       of PINs or pass phrases.  That means it tries to take care that the en-
       tered  information  is  not  swapped to disk or temporarily stored any-
       where.

       pinentry-x2go is typically used internally by x2goclient evoked by gpg-
       agent.  Users don't normally have a reason to call it directly.

OPTIONS
       --version
              Print the program version and licensing information.

       --help Print  a  usage message summarizing the most useful command-line
              options.

       --debug, -d
              Turn on some debugging.   Mostly  useful  for  the  maintainers.
              Note that this may reveal sensitive information like the entered
              pass phrase.

       --enhanced, -e
              Ask for timeouts and insurance, too.  Note  that  this  is  cur-
              rently not fully supported.

       --no-global-grab, -g
              Grab the keyboard only when the window is focused.  Use this op-
              tion if you are debugging software using  pinentry-x2go;  other-
              wise  you  may  not  be able to to access your X session anymore
              (unless you have other means to connect to the machine  to  kill
              pinentry-x2go).

       --parent-wid N
              Use window ID N as the parent window for positioning the window.
              Note, that this is not fully supported by all flavors of  pinen-
              try.

       --display STRING, --ttyname STRING, --ttytype STRING, --lc-type STRING,
       --lc-messages STRING
              These options are  used  to  pass  localization  information  to
              pinentry-qt.   They  are required because pinentry-qt is usually
              called by some background process which does not have any infor-
              mation  on  the locale and terminal to use.  Assuan protocol op-
              tions are an alternative way to pass these information.

       manual.
