Hi there,
we already talked to Alex, but maybe it's a good idea to ask a broader audience: Has anybody got an use case where someone who has ssh access is not allowed to start x2go? In short: We want to get rid of the sudo-entry and use suidperl instead. <snip> 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
