Looks like I haven't been explicit enough, sorry.

What's the output of "mount"?

Wait... do you *really* mean x2golistsessions, or rather the database file
called x2go_sessions?

The script itself (x2golistsessions) should always be read- and executable by
any user.


I've also been looking around if disabling SUID support directly in the kernel
is possible, but haven't found anything related to this. Looks like the only way
to achieve that is via a mount flag. If that's not the case, I'm running dry here.
