[K12OSN] usb drives

[David Whitmer]

I, too, had experienced the problem of having plugged in flash drives and
CDs showing an empty window on K12LTSP V5 servers.  However, rather than
adding users to the fuse group, I was able to correct the problem by
changing one line inside a script, I think /etc/init.d/ltspfs-insecure .
Unfortunately, I cannot be more specific right now as I won't have access to
our school's computers until this evening.  I can post details this evening
if anyone's interested.
