Hello, all. Amidst our very successful testing of X2Go, we came across a permissions issue. Our environment sets a default umask of 007 rather than the standard 022. This was honored in our NoMachine environment. However, we recently started having access control issues where users could not edit each others' documents. Sure enough, the default rights were rw_r__r__ rather than rw_rw____. We checked our /etc/profile file in case something had changed and it is still a umask of 007. We did a direct ssh and touched a file and it gave correct rw_rw____ rights so it appears to be something specific to X2Go. From where does X2Go configure its bash environment?
We are using Hardy on the X2Go server (in process of transitioning to Lenny) and Lenny on the X2Go Client. Thanks - John

Hello John,
x2go use ssh to login. It does not unset any environment variables or umask options. If you running (for example ) a Gnome desktop, you connect to you system using ssh just as usual and start "gnome-session" using your x2goagent as display. That's all. if you missing some environment or shell options, it should be not a issue of x2go but of desktop environment. See /usr/bin/x2goruncommand to understand how x2go start desktop environment.
Best regards, Thanks for the direction. I'll see if I can track it down. The behavior is different than simply doing an ssh but the problem may be in KDE rather than X2Go! I'll let you know what I find - John
