Restricting Gitso and VNC #12

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Installed gitso on ubuntu, works great, want to restrict users to only 
getting help from one hostname.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Wish to restrict user.  Right now, the user can ask for help from anyone, 
which is not that secure.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Person requesting help is on Ubuntu, person helping is on Windows.

Please provide any additional information below.

You created a great product.  Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback. Are you thinking this would be a preference that 
the user
could modify or something the builder would distribute with the application.

Even if we change the GUI to allow only one hostname, this doesn't address the
security aspect.  Someone could easily type x11vnc -connect hostname just the 
same
since gitso is just a frontend to it.

It just wouldn't be truly secure.

However, if you'd like to restrict it, just chown and chmod the
/usr/share/gitso/hosts.txt file to make it read-only for your user.
