With the current code in git.x2go.org this is the case. The group  
limitation has been removed from code with the removal of all the sudo  
stuff. So basically, that's good. But if people want to be able to  
restrict access, then it's bad news.

I guess rather a few people did not like this script...

This indeed needs a patch. It would be great if you could privat one.  
Please use the master branch of x2goserver.git on git.x2go.org and  
branch off from there.

THANKS,
Mike
