[Lionel Cons][LC]'s [mxconns][] is an X Windows monitor and proxy.
The author suggests you use it to enhance the security of your X
server by monitoring for connection attempts and dangerous requests
-(e.g. keylogging).

-I ran into it while trying to get X forwarding working with my
-[[cluster|Abax]]. Ususally if you [[SSH]] into a remote computer and
-want to run X applications, you use `ssh -Y` to forward your X
-connection to the remote host, and everything works as expected.
-However, I could not figure out how to expose the forwarded server so
-it could except connections from other nodes in the cluster. For
-example, if a job I had running on `n1` wanted to talk to my X server
-(e.g. via [[MPE]]), it would need to connect to `n0`:
+(e.g. keylogging). I tend to use it as a flexible proxy fo X
+forwarding with my [[cluster|Abax]].
