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.
