Hi,

To secure an x2go terminalserver enviroment from the bad big world outside we are thinking of implementing ssh-key based authenication. This works wonderfully with unencrypted ssh-keys. With encrypted ssh-keys it won't work because of the password challenge. Is there any way it can work with the x2goclient ? Then we can change the passwords set on the ssh-keys at an interval instead of reissuing ssh-keys. Any other ideas about implementing otp passwords with x2go are very welcome ;)

In case you are wondering or interested about the client we are planning to implement x2go as a terminalserver solution:
