Dear VGL Experts,
I'm trying to deploy VirtualGL to a production machine (which uses LDAP
authentication and has GPFS mounts). I do not want to restrict access to the
vglusers group. Just wondering what are the security risks I should
consider?
I don't know much about how X server/VGL works, so any suggestion is greatly
appreciated.
Also in the VGL manual the following statement kind of worries me:
"Disabling XTEST will not prevent a user from logging keystrokes or reading
images from the 3D X server, but if a user has access to the 3D X server,
disabling XTEST will prevent them from inserting keystrokes or mouse events
and thus hijacking local X sessions on that X server. "
Does this mean that any user using VGL will be able to log keystrokes of
other users? Any link to detailed docs will be very helpful too.
Thanks a lot!
