Addendum: the easiest way to check whether security is currently enabled is to log on as a regular user, and run "xhost" (without the quotes, and without any parameters) in an xterm. In my case (Debian Wheezy, not Mint), it replies with: access control enabled, only authorized clients can connect SI:localuser:MYUSERNAMEHERE And your output, if you're safe, should look similar. If the first line, however, reads access control disabled, clients can connect from any host then you have an issue. A serious one. - -Stefan - -- BAUR-ITCS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) Geschäftsführer: Stefan Baur Eichenäckerweg 10, 89081 Ulm | Registergericht Ulm, HRB 724364 Fon/Fax 0731 40 34 66-36/-35 | USt-IdNr.: DE268653243 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUrK3UAAoJEG7d9BjNvlEZuNwIAJ64IvgKjPtbehQNKmelfdrq nUcGfI2/FsjSQYecOA7uj0KeeXmToXj7k3jkb4905JQC4jEU+xRvwm0zi/y8MsdI hUcV1YmEWohG61waLnIuS584yDmqmRIgLtAlYvUUocd+YYAnIbyVmLgSSfPzU4tR xGyksZ8/a4Zgv4t4Ep4Zwi42UJ2Tq0QhNwjTmRios9IcCmKmQY4xtddaxjfnyrQZ MxmPLON2bcy1ZpkMKn+KSMH9kkAW4E+epYrdwnQMo52S/XbgsytuKSJxKXsFSCQS rHt3HHWc/BFLGS9Jd6aPASEJg+oTI4adrYgnxPg5ZhgQJ196hbcQGyA9snJzUiE= =s458 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ x2go-user mailing list x2go-user@lists.x2go.org http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
