[FreeNX-kNX] Restricting what can be launched - some success :)

[Steven Maddox (Cyorxamp)]

Hey folks,

I have a box with the latest FreeNX and I've found the 
node_find_application() routine inside the nxnode file.

At the bottom of the routine I override what it returns for my 
application name instead, so whatever they picked to launch it ignores 
it.  I'm looking to do something more elegant however, so that when 
someone has tried to log in as username 'guest' it will change the 
application to be launched to the specific one as before, however if it 
is anyone else logging in it should continue as normal.  So I tried this...

       if [ "$HOME" != "guest" ] then
               echo "$NODE_STARTX"
       else
               echo "my-application"
       fi

It doesn't work however and just says authentication failed, so I'm 
probably using $HOME to check the username when I shouldn't be.  Any 
other tips on how I can do this?


Sincerely...
