X2Go Component: src:x2goserver
Version: 4.0.1.7
Status: RELEASE
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 21:58:27 +0100
Fixes: 276 278 285 305 310 331
Changes: 
 x2goserver (4.0.1.7) RELEASED; urgency=low
 .
   [ Orion Poplawski ]
   * New upstream version (4.0.1.7):
     - Install Xsession file as executable, make Xsession.d directory location
       configurable during build process, do not create unused Xsession.options.
       (Fixes: #278).
 .
   [ Mike Gabriel ]
   * New upstream version (4.0.1.7):
     - Fine-tune x2goserver-xsession/Makefile: if /etc/X11 has Xsession.d and/or
       Xsession.options they get symlinked into /etc/x2go. Otherwise Xsession.d
       and Xsession.options are created under /etc/x2go as empty dir/file.
       (Fixes: #278).
     - Fix automatic keyboard setup (via x2gosetkeyboard) while resuming a
       session. (Fixes: #285).
     - Provide sudoers.d/x2goserver file that allows sudoed commands under
       KDE (by pertaining the env var QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM. (Fixes: #276).
     - With PostgreSQL as session db backend, prevent the root user from
       launching sessions. Also, prevent x2gouser_root from being added as a
       PostgreSQL user. (Fixes: #310).
     - Execute DB status changes as late as possible during suspend / terminate.
     - Start/resume rootless sessions without geometry parameter. Esp. using
       X2GO_GEOMETRY=fullscreen for rootless sessions lead to an extra 1x1 px
       session window (nxagentCreateIconWindow in nxagent's Window.c).
     - Typo fix in x2goruncommand (for MATE session startup).
   * debian/control:
     + Update LONG_DESCRIPTIONS.
     + Raise Standards: to 3.9.4 (no changes needed).
     + Move xfonts-base to Recommends: field of bin:package x2goserver.
   * debian/x2goserver.init:
     + Make init script LSB compliant.
 .
   [ Helmer Teles ]
   * New upstream version (4.0.1.7):
     - Make umask that is used when mounting client-side folders via SSHFS
       configurable in x2goserver.conf. (Fixes: #331).
 .
   [ Jürgen Hötzel ]
   * New upstream version (4.0.1.7):
     - Use bash-builtin 'type' instead of to be avoided 'which'. (Fixes: #305).
 .
   [ Oleksandr Shneyder ]
   * New upstream version (4.0.0.6):
     - Fix x2goruncommand: "type -P $cmd" can create new lines in EXEC
       variable if command have the arguments wich have same names as existing
       commands, for example "rdesktop -k nl" -> "/usr/bin/rdesktop\n/usr/bin/nl".
       Now we splitting $cmd and taking only first part.

Subject: X2Go logins as root scatter PostgreSQL database with half-started sessions

Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:39:15 +0200

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: x2goserver
Version: 4.0.1.6

When the PostgreSQL backend is used, it is not possible to add root as  
X2Go User to the DB.

Whereas running X2Go as root is absolutely disrecommended, the  
attempts to start X2Go sessions as root results in broken session  
entries in the X2GO database.

Either logins as root (with PostgreSQL) should be supported or the  
session should refuse to come up at all.

Mike
