SECURITY INFORMATION / DISCLAIMER
Users are advised to not misinterpret X2GoServer's Published
Application Mode as a security feature.
Even when using Published Application Mode, it is still possible for
users to locally configure an X2Go Client with any setting they want,
and use that to connect.
So if you're trying to keep users from running a certain application on
the host, using Published Application Mode to "lock" the configuration
is the *wrong* way. The users will still be able to run that
application by creating their own, local configuration file and using
that.
To keep users from running an application on the server, you have to
use *filesystem permissions*. In the simplest case, this means setting
chmod 750 or 550 on the particular application on the host, and making
sure the users in question are not the owner and also not a member of
the group specified for the application.
