We have a similar piece code (Perl) in x2gothinclient:
http://code.x2go.org/gitweb?p=x2gothinclient.git;a=blob;f=x2gothinclient/sbin/x2gothinclientd;h=49e04a985623a5314e3445701d587d44f7a4a1bb;hb=7108aa320b81f2328d4d334e0a52f144500c21fd

Please see the check_client function in the script referred to by the  
above link.

Greets,
Mike
