[X2Go-Dev] X2Go Client - new features and bugfix

[Oleksandr Shneyder]

Hello all,

there are three new commits in X2Go Client project.

1. Support for GSSApi (Kerberos 5) authentication.

http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commit;h=a77d761dbb16d28206e7c2446654539935746e4e

It works on Linux, Windows (MIT Kerberos) and Mac. Unfortunately stable
version of libssh not supporting gssapi yet. X2Go Client using OpenSSH
client (ssh, scp) on Mac and Linux for GSSApi authentication. On Windows
X2Go Client using CLI tools "plink" and "pscp", which are the part of
free and OS project PUTTY
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/)

@Windows developers: please note that X2Go Client Windows build should
include plink and pscp binaries, this binaries can be found here:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html

As soon as gssapi support will be enabled in stable version of libssh,
3d-party ssh clients will be not used by X2Go Client any more.


2. Support for ChallengeResponceAuthentication (Google Authenticator)

http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2goclient.git;a=commit;h=ac14ad24e7a2d3d3fd08e61098769b5391f4ea8b

It works on Linux, Windows and Mac. The Istruction how to setup your
system for 2-step authentication and how to configure Google
Authenticator, can be found here:
