Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tsclient
I think that is good policy that tsclient exposes the users home directory
instead of the complete filesytem to the remote server.
Since rdesktop can map any directory it takes only a few small changes
to the tsclient code to have the users home directory mapped instead of
the root directory. I made these changes and created an debian patch for
it.
What the patch does:
- if the diskmapping check box is enable it retrieves the users home dir
from the HOME environment variable
- since this variable can be changed by the user, I check whether the
user owns the directory.
- if he does, the directory is mapped to the terminal server
- I changed the strings in the gui to reflect these changes
In this way the user can in principle map any directory he wants
provided he owns it. To me this seems a sane policy.
The patch can be copied to the debian/patches directory: it changes the source
after
10_remote_disk_mapping.patch has been applied.
Can you please review the patch, apply it to the unstable repository and
forward it to debian and the upstream maintainers?
