[Marcelo Boveto Shima <marceloshima@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, this feature should be implemented via consolekit, udev and
devicekit-disks.
There are some work been done on consolekit's multi-seat branch.

But until then, we have 3 options:
 - Try to hack on hal to detect a nx session.
 - Create a group for "remote users", deny this group to mount removable
disks
   and just allow a user from the "remote users" group to login.
 - Just add a howto not allow a user to mount removable disks by changing
   policykit policy and howto allow a admin user to mount removable disks.

The policykit key is org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable.

Status in FreeNX open source NX Server: New

Bug description:
Using latest packages from FreeNX PPA on Ubuntu Hardy.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure no user is logged in on FreeNX server host.
2. Connect to FreeNX server host via NX using session GNOME.
3. Insert USB storage device or a CDROM into the FreeNX server host.

Result:
The medium is mounted, assigned to the remotely logged in user and shown on his remote GNOME desktop via NX.
If a different user logs in locally on the NX server he does not have permissions to access the medium.

Expected result:
The medium should not be mounted and the remote NX user should not be able to access it. 
If a user logs in locally on the NX server the medium should be mounted with his permissions and appear on his local GNOME desktop.
