Scott, I did some investigation. I have 4 clients presently (computer 1, 2, 3, 4). I have Ubuntu 6.06 and LTSP 4.2. Here is a run down of what I found:
1. Plug usb stick in server. Results: a. Shows up on clients and server desktop b. Owner is computer 2. c. No access to file content on server d. No access other clients e. Access on computer 2. f. Only way to access from server is in terminal windows and as root (cd /media/usb...). Problem: accessing usb at server from server 2. Put cdrom in server. Results: a. Shows up on clients and server desktop b. Owner is computer 3 c. Access from other clients, but no eject d. No access from server and no eject e. Eject from computer 3 Problem: accessing cdrom at server from server 3. Floppy in server a. No automount, no access from server b. No access to server floppy from clients Problem: accessing floppy at server from server 4. Cannot access floppy at computer 1 in floppy drive of computer 1 5. Cannot access cdrom at computer 1 in cdrom of computer 1 6. Can access floppy and cdrom from computer 2. I tried to sudo mount floppy and cdrom drives at computer 1 and cannot mount, given this message: "must specify the file system type" I typed "mount" and got "ltspfs on /home/computer2 [and also 3 and 4]/readwrite type fuse" My /etc/ftab looks like this: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 My /etc/mtab looks like this: /dev/hda1 / ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro 0 0 proc /proc proc rw 0 0 /sys /sys sysfs rw 0 0 varrun /var/run tmpfs rw 0 0 varlock /var/lock tmpfs rw 0 0 udev /dev tmpfs rw 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0 devshm /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0 nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd rw 0 0 ltspfs /home/computer3/Drives/readwrite fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,user=computer3 0 0 ltspfs /home/computer2/Drives/readwrite fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,user=computer2 0 0 ltspfs /home/computer4/Drives/readwrite fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,user=computer4 0 0 I am wondering if I should start with a fresh install or try Edubuntu or K12ltsp. I am hoping it is something simple because I have put a lot of time into this already. Thanks for any help.

Yes, of course it will, because being logged into a thin client is much the same as being logged into the server. I would expect that if you don't want the server's local cdrom to work, you'd need to take the user out of the "cdrom" group in /etc/groups, but I'd have to check that at home tonight. > Likewise, if I put a cd into the client, it can only be umounted on the > server, and then the server cd door opens (with nothing in it obviously). > Something seems backwards. Could you work through the step by step debugging procedure for 4.2 locadevices on the wiki with a cdrom, and tell me where it fails? Scott -- Scott L.
