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.

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

We'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!
