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.
