When trying to connect via either the native OS X client or the web service, thinlinc denies access with the following message:
==> vsmagent.log <==
2025-05-14 21:42:38 WARNING vsmagent.session: Unable to find free display number when starting session for kbendl. Reporting to VSM server

The user can ssh directly to the box. This appears to have come about after an upgrade.
It seems like an issue with the wondiw manager or VNC, so I tried re-installing mate-session-manager. No difference.
Side note: There are 5 hosts with agents in the cluster {02..06}, however it appears thinlinc like two of them more and only tries to commit users to 03 and 04.
Any ideas what I might look for? It’s seems like it might be the whole desktop env might be borked, post-patching.
