Summary
Thin Client Local Devices how to provide safe access to local devices on the thin clients.
Existing solutions should be taken into account:
samba. PXES (http://pxes.sf.net) and Thinstation (http://thinstation.sf.net) export local devices with samba and they are mounted on the server. Only does file-level operations. Not optimal security-wise.
- nbd/enbd. Allows raw data access, enbd even implements some ioctls for CD burners etc. Complicated setup, bunch of scripting. Not optimized for thin clients. Enbd has SSL encryption of transferred data and other features. Enbd is not in vanilla kernel.
usbip (http://usbip.sf.net). Very low level, only handles USB devices. Probably in beta state. Never tried.
