As a sysadmin by day, these are my thoughts:
1. We should make sure that every distro we provide packages for
includes sudo by default.
2. sudo can surely be configured in such a way that it would break
x2go's usage of it. Of course, the same thing goes for sshd (NoMachine
is quite vocal on that.)

Hi all,
as those of you who have studied X2Go Server code probably have

su is that it invokes a subshell whenever it is called. Those
subshells are quite difficult to handle without providing space for
exploitation.
