What is the rationale for the extra group? Is there a good reason for disallowing someone to share his/her desktop?
the desktopsharing is a tricky feature anyway as it grants many ways for a user who is allowed to share another's desktop to manipulate the user profile.
This sounds to me as desktop sharing was a somewhat insecure feature anyway. In this case, why do you rely on a system group instead of for instance maintaining a /etc/x2go/allowdesktopshareing.users file that contains all users that are allowed to use the feature?
x2godesktopsharing falls into a daemon (in user space) and a client
(the systray)--I think it is this way around. And these two
communicate via a socket file. And the write access is granted by
group membership. No group membership, no desktop access.
Greets, Mike
