Do you mean nxserver here?

On the server the port is implicit, as it matches the NX proxy
port at the offset corresponding to the display.

On the client the port is chosen dinamically, so nxproxy needs to
know where the connection is going to be forwarded. I've just run
a session and this is the content of 'option' file on the client:

cookie=**********************************,root=C:\DOCUME~1\GIANFI~1\NX73F8~1,keybd=6000,\
session=XP-on-TestDrive,id=test00-1037-2EAC6D7546F2A4BFA3DD0095AD82F059,listen=1906:1037

There is a FR to add the 'accept' options to data passed to nxcomp
by nxclient. This, anyway, doesn't make much a difference. At the
moment nxcomp only binds to the 127.0.0.1 interface on the client
side.
