User access

For the user name "ruser" a password has to be assigned under Security > Password. The names "root" and "user" work also without passwords.
Hostname: Name of the host from which SSH access takes place (example: xterm.igel.de)

Enable applications access for remote user “ruser”
Command line: Command that is allowed or prohibited for the remote user
Enable application
☑ The application given under command line may be executed by the remote user. (default)
☐ The application given under command line may not be executed by the remote user.
Unlike root and user, the ruser is not intended for real SSH sessions, but only for starting X applications that are listed under Applications Access for Remote User “ruser”.
If you try to log on to the device as ruser via SSH, then you will never be able to connect. The connection will be closed immediately without anything happening. In this case you must add the parameter "-X" and the program to be started in the session call, like in this example:
ssh -X ruser@192.168.10.203 localshell
