Hi Mike,
Yes, i use Freenx Server for now.
And, i would like to know how it works for X2Go.
What have you done and what problems have you had ?
Thanks for your help.
The handshake for SSHFS mounting (server -> client) is:
o client sets up a reverse SSH port forwarding tunnel so that you can login from server to client, even if the client is behind a firewall o client generates temporary SSH pub/priv key pair o a script on the server is then issued by the client o with this script the client places this temp SSH privkey and a known_hosts file that works for the client-side sshd on the server o from this script also sshfs mounting (server -> client) is issued o once the mount has been successfull, all temporary credentials are removed from the server again (as I said: temporary)
You might want to take a closer look at the ,,x2gomountdirs'' script
in X2Go server and the appropriate locations in x2goclient or
python-x2go. Tell me what language (C++ or Python) you prefer for code
diving and I will point you to the right places in the code.
<Snip> If I recall correctly, there is also an issue with some distributions (particularly Ubuntu) where doing the mount provokes a new media dialog for all NX users connected to the server. I believe this is why X2Go actually does the mount in /tmp and then makes a symbolic link back to the user's home directory - John
