Hi Nikos,

I followed the instructions in the Wiki and installed x2goserver-one on my Debian Lenny server. However, during the installation, it told me:
Attention: If you want to allow users to log into the x2go system, you'll need to add them to the "x2gousers" group
but then it went on all on its own and added all users (about 300) of the system to the "x2gousers" as well as "fuse" groups! How do I undo that? Right now, I need to click around for hours in the Users and Groups admin tool :-$
The x2goserver-one package is intended for little Ubuntu systems... (standalone, sqlite, make your desktop reachable from home). So the auto-adding for groupmember is intended here, I suppose (make it easy for the user).
For bigger installations/contexts use the x2goserver package (no -home, no -one at the end of the package name) with PostgreSQL DB backend, the x2goserver package does not impose auto-groupmemberships on you.
I don't understand what a "big installation/context" is. Most admins just want a remote desktop for the servers they administer. Me too. I don't have a reason to use Postgre for anything.
So it's a big server, and I want a remote desktop to it for administrative purposes. Do you recommend to install Postgre and the normal x2goserver on it? I was under the impression that the home version was -home. The one person version was -one. I'm one person, and I want me, and only me, to be able to login per x2go. So I installed -one.
I suggest the installation to be adapted to this. -home might add users to x2gousers, but why -one?
Also, what's the point in adding users like "apache" and "mysql" to x2gousers and fuse?
