Any idea how to do > this? >From very limited experience where I attempted it and got this to work with some semblance of reliability once long ago I can tell you that it involves something around: load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1 This implies the pulse server must provide a local network service and the clients must be configured to connect to this server. Updating default.pa in .pulse directories and granting access to pulse* groups also rings a bell. Sadly I kept few notes on this so can only find this hint at present. There must be better ways to do it and if you get it working I would be keen to know how, so please provide feedback. I also recall murmurs of security issues around shared pulse services, obviously more so if the ip is not localhost, so consider that too.
