[Spice-devel] multiple users and xspice

[Rob Verduijn]

Like I said in my first email, I already got Xspice to play along with
xdmcp.
And when connecting to the server using virt-viewer I get a nice desktop.

Now what I do not have is more than 1 concurrent user.
Also preventing the second user from hijacking the session from the first
user is an issue.
Explaining that user one has session :1 and user two has session :2 is an
administration nightmare.

It all has to work automagically.

Currently I only have vnc that does all this.
I implemented this solution :
http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/remote-login-with-gdm-and-vnc-on-centos-7-rhel-7-configure-vnc-on-xinetd-with-xdmcp-centos-7-rhel-7.html
But vnc is something that belongs in the previous millennium.

So I wonder if there is a way to do this using Xspice ?
