Hi Mike, thanks for the confirmation and the submission. If anyone is interested, one thing I did for now, to address this issue was to allow password-based access from my LAN addresses as described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/101670/how-can-i-allow-ssh-password-authentication-from-only-certain-ip-addresses (Note that the match block should be at the end of sshd_config file as it affects all statements below it if I understand it correctly) Use a |Match| block in |/etc/ssh/sshd_config|. |PasswordAuthentication no Match address 192.0.2.0/24 PasswordAuthentication yes | Best, Matthias On 27/8/2013 12:34 PM, Mike Gabriel wrote: > Package: x2goclient > Tags: confirmed > Version: 4.0.1.0 > Severity: important > x-debbugs-cc: software@matthiaskauer.com > > I myself have also observed the issue reported by Matthias.
