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 entered
information is not swapped to disk or temporarily stored anywhere.
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 currently
not fully supported.
- --no-global-grab, -g
-
Grab the keyboard only when the window is focused. Use this
option if you are debugging software using pinentry-x2go;
otherwise 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 pinentry.
- --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 information on the
locale and terminal to use. Assuan protocol options are an
alternative way to pass these information.
