Yes, I know. This has been an issue years ago when I used freeNX (the first open source NX server implementation) at school; it was always needed to care for it manually using some tool to list running sessions. It doesn't seem to have been improved with recent implementations. > If NX do not update utmp/wtmp for logged in users, I would claim that > NX is broken, and if it is by design, then NX is broken by design. Right. This bug should be reassiged to the x2go-server package, but then the package isn't part of Debian... Wolfgang
