Re: Two guacd instances
Hi Nick, Thanks for being so quick. Just to bookend this, in case anyone else looks at this thread. I was looking Control/Alt/Shift and then disconnect at top right of panel. This seems to be a little buried in the doc. I'll try and make my users do this.

From the VNC side, keep in mind that you need to factor in security so that someone cannot come along and connect to the available VNC port/session and get access to files, applications, etc., that someone else started. -Nick >
Two guacd instances
Hi folks I'm very new to guacamole, I've run up and instance with Tomcat and 1.5.5 on a Raspberry Pi. It works and I'm not trying to do multiuser vnc: - tigervncserver on user1 as :3 - tigervncserver on user2 as :4 - user-mapping.xml for user1 and user2 This seems OK, but results in two instances of guacd, is this normal? I'm trying to do cleanup scripts etc.so at the moment I have sudo killall guacd. Also when I'm in the Pi desktop is there a clean way of leaving it? I'm trying to develop this for Pi students who haven't got a physical Pi yet, that's the context of all this.
