Hi Morty,

What is the rationale for the extra group? Is there a good reason for
disallowing someone to share his/her desktop?

the desktopsharing is a tricky feature anyway as it grants many ways
for a user who is allowed to share another's desktop to manipulate the
user profile.

This sounds to me as desktop sharing was a somewhat insecure feature
anyway. In this case, why do you rely on a system group instead of for
instance maintaining a /etc/x2go/allowdesktopshareing.users file that
contains all users that are allowed to use the feature?

x2godesktopsharing falls into a daemon (in user space) and a client (the systray)--I think it is this way around. And these two communicate via a socket file. And the write access is granted by group membership. No group membership, no desktop access.

Greets,
Mike
