Hi, I just installed ltsp based on Kubuntu Hardy Heron for our medium sized local network (some dozens of parallel users).
It looks quite nice, thanks for the good work. A problem, I ran into, concerns local devices and group handling. I followed the hints in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebugLocalDev, which recommends to add every user to group fuse. I handle this with the pam_group module and also added the groups plugdev,fuse,scanner,video,audio,cdrom for the corresponding services (e.g. 'ssh -X <ltsp-client> k3b' for burning CDs needs group cdrom). The (design-)problem is the number of needed groups, as we also use groups for workgroup-cooperation. Now we have the problem that I cannot access nfs-mounted directories although I am member of the appropriate group. NFS has a limit of max. 16 groups, where you can be a member of. If you are beyond this number you get 'access denied'. An alternative solution is to rewrite lots of udev rules to change group ownership or access rights of certain devices (e.g. /dev/fuse belongs to group users or is 666 chmod-ed). This could have the disadvantage, that you have to redo this work after every update. Can you give me some hints, how to solve this most elegantly?
