There are different ways of doing that too. You can manage the sessions
yourself or use the proxy to do it.

The xpra proxy can do pretty much the same thing. ie as root:
xpra proxy --bind-tcp=0.0.0.0:10000 --tcp-auth=sys

Then you can authenticate as individual unix users on that proxy and
request a new sessions.
