[X2go-dev] x2go and ssh-key based login

[jasper van der marel]

Hi Robin,

That solution doesn't work because when using sshkeys there is no
option to fill in the password.
You simply get the error message permission denied (public key).

In second instance you get a window to fill in a username/password but
this only applies to password auyjentication.
I have tighten the security on the server (changed the ssh port and
only allowing ssh keys to authenticate). so password authenication
doesn't work

Best regards,

Jasper van der Marel
