Message #5 received at submit@bugs.x2go.org (full text, mbox, reply):
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Package: x2goclient
Severity: important
Version: 4.0.3.1
If the $KRB5CCNAME envvar is not set, X2Go Client nonetheless tries to  
push the KRB5CCNAME file to the X2Go Server.
This results in a Qt error message window, because the copy command  
(cp $KRB5CCNAME $KRBFL just before executing x2goruncommand) is only  
evoked with one parameter ($KRBFL, $KRB5CCNAME is unset).

I'm not sure if any of this is necessary:
     if(sshConnection->useKerberos() && sshConnection->get_kerberosDelegation())
    {
        krbFwString="KRB5CCNAME=`echo $KRB5CCNAME |sed 's/FILE://g'` \
        KRBFL=$HOME/.x2go/C-"+resumingSession.sessionId+"/krb5cc ;\
        cp -a $KRB5CCNAME $KRBFL;KRB5CCNAME=$KRBFL ";
    }
I believe that SSH will handle the delegation of GSSAPI/Kerberos credentials.
In my case, I'm using the modern keyring credentials cache:
KRB5CCNAME=KEYRING:persistent:22603
so I get:
cp: cannot stat âKEYRING:persistent:22603:22603â: No such file or directory
however my credentials are present on the remote machine and I can get to them
if I unset KRB5CCNAME.
