Hi Devs (esp. Alex and Mike),
this topic has popped up before, but it seems no one is really tackling
this (or did I just miss the relevant posts?):
Forwarding of USB devices from the guest to the host.
Our commercial competitors offer solutions to forward, say, a USB card
reader to the host, so digital signatures can be performed on a
(windows) terminal server.
How hard would it be to add this feature to X2Go (especially when
working with a Windows client)?
Is it a difficult task, or simply a matter of "nobody got around to
coding this yet"?
For anyone else also interested in this issue, there seems to be a
free-as-in-beer, but not free-as-in-speech solution here:
http://www.usb-server.com/usb-server.html
I have not checked how well it works and what side-effects it may have.
Judging from the description, it requires kernel modules that need to be
complied manually, and judging from my experience with other
closed-source software providing kernel modules, this will probably mark
the kernel as tainted.
