[X2go-dev] Failed login from MS Windows Client

[Milan Knížek]

Hello,

I am testing x2go to replace NoMachine's NX server (for home use).

The server is Ubuntu 9.10 amd64, with x2goserver-home 3.0.1-1

Connecting from another Ubuntu on LAN worked fine. However, connecting
from MS Windows XP machine at work (through ssh tunnel to pass-through
http proxy) fails due to wrong password.

The MS Windows client (version 3.01-2) is setup to use localhost at ssh
port 1022. I have disabled any file and printer sharing and also audio
tunnelling.

Here is the /var/log/auth.log from server:
Dec 17 14:13:21 athlon sshd[19717]: Failed password for xxx from ::1
port 37418 ssh2
Dec 17 14:13:21 athlon sshd[19717]: Failed password for xxx from ::1
port 37418 ssh2
Dec 17 14:13:21 athlon sshd[19717]: Failed password for xxx from ::1
port 37418 ssh2

The error from MS Windows client is:

Wrong password! Connection failed localhost: Unable to connect
D:/Documents and Settings/username/.x2go/ssh/socaskpass.nf2668 etc. ....
Permission denied. Please try again.

The file in that directory does not exist.


I can successfully open a ssh session from cygwin using:
$ ssh xxx at localhost -p1022

I tried to use the new beta version of the client, but it requires admin
privileges on MS Windows computer, which I do not have.

Any ideas?
