package: x2gobroker priority: wishlist
Hi everyone,
A while ago, I wrote a small broker demo in bash.
I would like to get this added to X2Go's official repository, in the x2gobroker.git tree, as a separate binpkg (maybe called x2gobroker-ssh-mini).
Limitations:
This script is not suitable for a multi-server setup. It needs to run on the only X2GoServer there is. (There's an idea in the comments how to overcome this limitation, though.) This is, however, also its advantage: You don't need to mess with LDAP, postgres and NFS just to be able to use a central configuration for your X2GoClients.
It does not offer all the ACL options of the "big" broker implementations.
Problems:
There's currently no manpage for it. All documentation is in the comments in the bash script.
IIRC, Alex made some changes to X2GoClient and/or X2GoServer that will cause this script to break - however, these changes are not part of our stable release yet. So it should be possible to release this package right now, but it needs to be kept in mind that it will have to be adapted once Alex' changes make it to stable. This was related to more "chatter" about "Access granted" and similar status messages being exchanged between server/broker/client.
Script attached.
Kind Regards, Stefan Baur
