Thanks for asking.  I'm not sure what the issues are.  Our environment
is probably one of the most unusual because there is no root access from
within the virtual machine - only from the host entering the VM.  Users
cannot su.  That does not sound like what you are asking, though.

They also have significantly restricted access to kernel functions which
is why the call to fusemount (I forget the exact command) fails in our
environment and we have to move much of the functionality to the VServer
host (which is much more efficient than running 400 instances of
x2gocleansessions) - John
