Description Peter Åstrand cendio 2014-06-25 13:58:34 CEST 
Currently, local drives export is enabled by default on UNIX, but not on Windows. The default UNIX export list is:

/media/cdrom,ro

This isn't very useful: Modern distributions typically creates a mount point with the media name, ie:

/media/MYUSBDRIVE/

To handle all plugged in drives, one can export /media. This is likely a better default. However, having this enabled by default might surprise some users. MSTSC, for example, does not use local drive redirection by default. Thus, my suggestion is that we should provide a default export list of:

/media,rw

...but with local drive exports disabled by default.

Fixed in 29107.
Comment 2 Henrik Andersson cendio 2014-09-24 14:45:02 CEST 
Verified using ThinLinc client build 4500 on both Linux and Windows.

Works as expected.

This caused local drives to be disabled on SLETC. Possible also on other terminals. Probably need to check.

Tweaked again in 29519.

Verified that the ThinLinc client packages have local drive redirection enabled per default using ThinLinc client 4.3.0 rc3
