Hi All:

We're experimenting with using X2go and  encrypting /home with Encfs and so far everything works well except printing.  We think this is because x2go printing relies on creating a link from the spool inside of the .x2go sub folder "C-User-50-xxxxxxxx.stDGNOME_dp32 to the /tmp area, and the Encfs encryption moves things and breaks the link.

Our testing indicates that if we don't encrypt a user's /home we can print, but can't print if we encrypt another user's /home all on the same server.

FYIWe're not using a central x2go printing server solution (we had concerns about security, so are taking the performance hit instead).

W
e're using ssh to connect, and have gotten this to work by moving the ssh key outside of the encrypted area and creating a symlink to .ssh inside the area. 

Q:  Would some sort of symlink work for printing?   The issue here is that (and we may be wrong) the name of the "C-User50...." folder seems to change periodically.  Would we need some sort of login script to figures out what the newest "C-user" folder is and creates a symlink on the fly to the spool device?

As usual, any help appreciated!
