[X2Go-Dev] x2go without root on server

Thank you, Morty.

OK. But that's, of course, irrelevant for my use case.

Thanks. In other words. Assume, I want to do a rootless installation as
user foouser. Then I would probably have to rewrite the sources so that
foouser is also responsible for this sqlite database (of course only for
sessions of foouser, i.e. this DB then lives somewhere under $HOME/.x2go).

OK, there is hope. ;-)

I don't understand what exactly you mean by multi-server and local
installation. But maybe it's irrelevant for me anyway.

Now could you even tell me approximatly in which files I would have to look?

And another question. Does the x2goclient know that an x2gouser exists
on the server. Hopefully I only have to deal with the server side.
