hi list-folks,

what kind of home dir setup does x2go expect/support.

1. Scenario I tried... My default scenario: homes rest on an NFS server, homes are mounted as
   NFS homes with kerberos security (sec=krb5i or sec=krb5p).

Everything seems to work fine apart from x2go printing (I mentioned
this issue in another posting).

2. Scenario I tried... I have two x2goservers, tied together with postgres, but without
   explicit x2go LDAP tweaks. Each server has its own homes, only real
   data (no configs) is shared via Autofs-NFS in /home/<user>/MyDocuments.

This means: /home/<user> on <host1> is different from /home/<user> on <host2>.

x2go printing now works (no file copying onto NFS share as root
anymore), but x2golistsessions throws a bug:

Question: which scenarios have you already implied, which may be
missing or are untested? What home dir setup is most preferred from
the developers' point of view? <snip> We have taken a somewhat different approach. To promote portability and other factors, home directories are on a SAN and presented to a VServer host via iSCSI. These are then mounted into VServer guests using mount --rbind commands. This creates great scalability, performance, and isolation but the lack of important POSIX capabilities in the VServer guests makes for some challenges - John
