[X2go-User] x2gousers is missing?

[Patrick Willam]

Hi all! :-D

<blah>
Recently i'm taking my time to get my Personal Computers in a more useable
and productive state. A very important part of this process/project is
getting X2go to run on my systems.
</blah>

After installing X2go on my main machine (details: see below) i wanted to
use it, of course. But when trying to start a session via x2goclient i get
no further than while connecting an error dialog appears with this messeage:
"Please install this program as SUID x2gouser!"

So i thought: maybe there is an issue with the installation process of the
packets, and some rights have to be adjusted manually afterwards. But the
problem seems to be that a file called "x2gouser" is missing at all!?

$> dpkg -L x2goagent x2goclient x2goserver x2goserver-extension \
    | grep x2gouser
...gives nothing.

Any help/hints on this is very much appreciated.

Best wishes, happy hacking and greetings to Treuchtlingen & Kiel!
Patrick

ps:
I `frankensteined´ the "perl-suid" package from "squeeze" using "Depends:
perl (>= 5.10.1), libc6 (>= 2.4), libperl5.10 | libperl5.12 | libperl5.14"
and installed this manually to get "x2goserver" installed on wheezy/sid.
But this will go into another thread. ;-)

And now some technical details about my system/intallation...
