/usr/bin/x2gobroker-ssh is installed setuid x2gobroker-ssh.

-r-sr-x--- 1 x2gobroker x2gobroker-users 6136 Nov 28 14:45  
/usr/bin/x2gobroker-ssh

If executing /usr/bin/x2gobroker still works, we should consider  
disabling it, if not evoked as user x2gobroker (or via the setuid bit).

The point is that

   (1) only user x2gobroker can connect to managed X2Go Servers'  
x2gobroker-agent
   (2) only user x2gobroker can properly write to log files etc.

sudo aptitude install x2gobroker-ssh (?)

It is overdue, but there are still some open issues (lack SHADOW  
session support, lack of proper load balancing checks).

Mike

PS: happy new year to everyone!!!!
