Ok, I added the line as suggest to reenable the non-removable device support. It doesn't really matter for us if users can access the thin clients' HD. However, I was not able to access the external hard drive. I tried on the workstation: "ltspfsmounter /tmp add" and got a drive mounted in /media/tmp just as it is supposed to be. Unfortunately it was the thin client's memory and not the external drive. ltspfs thinclient:/dev/sdb1 /media/tmp /mountpoint gave me nothing but a mess. After prompting the command I can not even determine the folder's permissions. Is there any way I can mount a specific device that is connected to the thin client. I think that would be a solution. Even if auto mount didn't work I wouldn't really mind. I could not find any hint in the man pages or the scripts.
Maybe I do it all wrong. Thanks again for your help.
