Hi All, I have created a CentOS 6.5 OpenStack image using kickstart. I have noticed that when connecting directly to the Virtual Machine's console (think connecting directly to the physical machine) all of the system-config, firewall configuration, application update and install GUI applications work fine and prompt for root login when executed. Hoever if I connect to the VM using xrdp with a tiger-vncserver backend the apps either do not work, or take several minutes to prompt for the root password. Here is a post I made in the forums that has no response: https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=45307&sid=865afae345fe831c86661f5f264f9021 It looks like my problem may be that when I do a ck-list-sessions the device/terminal information does not seem to be known: Session2: unix-user = '500' realname = '(null)' seat = 'Seat2' session-type = '' active = FALSE x11-display = '' x11-display-device = '' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2014-03-06T17:23:07.718097Z' login-session-id = '4294967295' I have tried disabling selinux, modifying the startwm.sh script included with xrdp to launch the session with "ck-launch-session gnome-session". Neither seem to help. Does anyone have any idea what might be going, or an explanation of how authentication works when one of these apps requires root permission? Thanks! Sam
