57 host, provided that your <b>rhosts</b>(5) file allows you
58 access to it using <b>rsh</b>(1). Before attempting to start
59 xterm, it uses <b>xauth</b>(1) to transfer your
60 authentication info for current display. Thus it allows to
61 start programs on machines, which don’t share
62 Xauthority file with your local machine.</p>
