How do you get access to Local Hardware on an LTSP terminal like a Hard Drive?
Short Answer: Depends.
Long Answer:
The harddrives can be accessed (on the workstation) as /dev/hd* after loading the right modules (ide-disk ??). That way, only local_apps (aka programs running on the workstation) can access the disk.
Parallel ports can be directly used by apps running on the ws, same for serial ports with the right "serial" (??) module. USB seems to be a bit more tricky.
Generally speaking, only local programs (local to the ws) can access any hardware. For accessing it from the LTSP server (or from anywhere else) you'd need a daemon that "exports" - like the LTSP printer daemon you probably read about in the docs.
Perhaps the best is you shortly describe what your plans are.
