[Server-devel] [PATCH] Add support for usbmount triggers in xs-rsync

2008-08-10 Thread Martin Langhoff
This is the first user of usbmount, so several things to note... - The usbmount scripts don't get a tty, which means that we need sudo to allow nontty usage (changed in xs-config for root) - We check manifest.md5 with a custom utility called xs-check-signature, initially a wrapper arou
