Hi $LIST,

I'm not filing this as a bug (yet) as I'm not sure if this is intended behavior.

On a default X2GoServer installation, with the SQLite DB backend, both x2golistsessions and x2golistsessions_root return sensible output - with x2golistsessions working "per user", and x2golistsessions_root, when invoked as root, shows all sessions.

On an X2GoServer installation with the postgres DB backend, however, the output of x2golistsessions_root, when invoked as root, is always empty, while x2golistsessions works as expected for a regular user.

So ... I figured "Hey, maybe it's because root doesn't have a file /root/.x2go/sqlpass" - so I tried creating one.

Bzzt - "x2godbadmin --adduser root" returns 'The super-user "root" is not allowed to use X2Go'.

I totally agree that root should not be able to start an X2Go session, but:

1. at present, in SQLite mode, root can start an X2Go session
2. root (or $SOME_USER_WITH_ADMIN_PRIVS - if it has to be a different user name, so be it) SHOULD be able to view the sessions list (at least for their own server, if not for the entire farm), regardless of which DB backend is in use.

So what's the proper way of checking which sessions are active/suspended/etc. on the server "root" is logged in to, and/or in the entire farm handled by the postgres db instance it is linked to?
