What seems odd to me is that if I originate from a Ubuntu machine, with
csh as the shell on the target host, it works. It only breaks if originated
from a Mac. It would seem there should be some way to separate the shell
x2go uses to process commands, i.e., explicitly invoking /bin/bash instead of
just assuming it's what will process the commands, for instances where users
are using something else. Ksh is a superset of bourne shell as is bash so
that's probably why it has enough in common to work.

That's unfortunate, however it works fine with ksh, and remmina which

looks like Apple users are just pretty much screwed. Not the response I

Well, there isn't a real technical reason why we support bash only, it's just
that the current code kind of relies on it to work and has never been testing
with anything else but the bash-like dash and maybe the POSIX-compatible
dash/bash sh-emulation.
ksh is bash-like enough to by chance "just work".
You'll see weird behavior with csh and others, though.
Besides making all remote calls POSIX sh-compatible, I wouldn't know how to fix
the problem. And I'm not even sure csh and friends *are* POSIX sh-compatible,
without looking it up first...
That wasn't meant as a "bash or die" statement, but given the current state of
affairs, it comes close to that.
