Re: [Ltsp-discuss] disable local disks in fat clients

2014-06-17 Thread Edgar Kogler
brute-Force method (using PCs as fat clients): Open the clients case, unplug 
the SATA-Connectors and maybe disable the SATA Ports in the BIOS :-)

That should disable LTSP-specific device access for those types. To be sure,
LOCALDEV=false. You'd might want to make sure lts.conf is actually being read.

More likely, though, since you're running as a fat client, your desktop
environment may be accessing the devices through it's own mechanisms, which
may be group or console access based, or some other policy. PolicyKit is one
thing you might need to explore. That depends on your desktop environment and
OS more than LTSP features.

live well,
