I've read: "A Flexible Approach to Thin Client Removable Media
Management" by Paul Whittaker ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) from the
Contrib area of the ltsp web pages.

The fundamental clue with this solution is: "automount daemon (with
sufficient components to do local device mounts only) "glued" to a
WU-FTP daemon"

Because the server is directly connected to the Internet (no
firewall), I'm a little bit paranoid about installing server daemons
on the server. How can I have it to be automatically patched when it
is discovered holes in it? or can i set it up in a way that it only
talks to the thin clients?

Firewall is the first thing I can think of as a solution, but the
central IT department are not to happy about us setting up firewalls
on our servers.

Anybody who have any comments/ suggestions?

I also see that the kernel modules that are needed to use certain
removable media devices are still not included in the kernel
package. If anybody who have them compiled for i386/i586 would be so
kind to mail them to me..
