Re: [Thinstation-general] using Samba for "redirection" of local drives into remote Citrix session

[InterRob <rob...@gm...>]

The idea is to prevent other users from accessing a locally attached
USB-drive that is owned by the user that attached it to the thinstation
he/she is using.

Obviously this requires applying access rights to SMB-shares as different
users log on and off...

I would say that the redirecting local resources implies letting go of
"stateless computing", in the strict sense of the concept...
