<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hello,<BR>
I am evaluating the x2go tools as an alternative to vnc (I like especially the browser plugins).<BR>
<BR>
On the server (debian squeeze) I recognized that the x2goserver is periodically every 5 seconds doing this:<BR>
<BR>
srv03-lin:/srv/http/trac/umtsrouter# tail -F -n 10 /var/log/auth.log<BR>

"/etc/init.d/x2goserver stop" will stop the authentication requests.<BR>
<BR>
Any Ideas what can cause this?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
On the client side I experienced other strange things, when having multiple sessions I get this on the x2go web plugin client (browser iceweasel 3.5.12):<BR>
<BR>
(the command update-manager was lauchched within a gnome xterm shell)<BR>
<BR>
hoefle@srv03-lin:~$ sudo update-manager<BR>

<BR>
<BR>
with vnc I can have multiple sessions without having any problems regarding display opening.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
I have a swiss-german keyboard layout and I have a key mismatch, it seem that I always get a german keylayout. Is eventually not every keymap implemented?<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
