Hi all,
I've been playing around with X2go lately, I installed the server and the xfce desktop on a test ssh machine with no problems. I then installed the x2go client via the software centre on ubuntu mate, no problems I thought. I can connect and it works fine, but...
I'd forgotten what IP address the test server was on, so I ran a nmap scan of the network and found two ssh servers. The x2go client had installed ssh server on my laptop without me knowing, I didn't notice any tickboxes etc.
Anyone else come across this? Surely this is a bit naughty, as you could connect to ssh with your username and password on the laptop?
