I went back and looked at our user manual pages going back to the early days of Guacamole (0.8.2 and early 0.9.x releases) and don't see any mention of it in those. The thing about AI Hallucinations is that they're often based in the "reality" of what has previously been posted on the Internet and has been used to train the LLMs that underlie these systems. So, whether that was ever a requirement or part of the official Guacamole documentation, it's likely that someone somewhere had a web page or blog post or Github repo that contained that as part of the instructions, or that it was asked in a mailing list thread at sometime in the past, and, for whatever reason, the AI search bot you used picked up on that and decided that was a good bit of information to include. -Nick >
