Re: [Ltsp-discuss] right mouse button dead on X-terminals

We've been thinking along these lines as well, of securing any 
"priviledged" information the clients need, like HOME directories, etc.  
If you haven't already seen it, there is a project called the Enhanced 
Network Block Device.  It supports exporting a file or block device 
through SSL.  This may be a tangent that will not help you however.  
Just a thought.

How would you go about setting up the SSH tunnel?  I think SSH tunneling 
only works for TCP connections, right?  There is (experimental) support 
for NFS over TCP in the new 2.4.x kernels.  Or would you not even bother 
with NFS?
