Hi, I was wondering whether it is possible to implement two factor authentication in X2go? Ie. ssh password based login with the Google two factor authentication Linux PAM module and Google Authenticator App for iOS or Android.
Would this be any more secure than using ssh private/public keys?

What a coincidence... I am working on something very similar at the moment.
In OpenSSH 6.2 there will be a sshd_config parameter
AuthenticationMethods. With this parameter OpenSSH will require
two-factor auth (key+password e.g.).
I am currently implementing this in Python X2Go / PyHoca-GUI.
For X2Go Client, please file a wistlist bug [1].
Thanks Mike
