To put the above in other words: How can one get x2go to use an existing
ldap/kerberos-server to authenticate the user?

I'm quite sure I once saw an environment where the x2go client used its
own session management (no ldap-server set in the x2go client settings),
but as the username and password was given from a user in ldap/kerberos,
he could login and all worked smoothly. I was quite impressed back then
to see how seamless x2go integrates in the existing authentication
infrastructure.

I guess it was just a PAM issue on the x2go server machine, but I'm a
bit lost at what has to be configured exactly.
