There is an entire issue with how to handle devices that should not
be shared between users when you have more then one user logged in,
as well as how to handle things when the only user logged in is
logged in remotely. I personally think it is a good idea to limit
remote access to hardware as the default. This is even though it has
made more work for me when working with headless machines. But you
always have to balance between ease of use, and security. I do not
see any easy answers.
There is even more fun when you have a multiuser machine that has a
desktop user and many non-desktop users.
Remembering watching a co-worker who was the desktop user on a machine
that had multiple ISOs loaded to it by a non-desktop user and having a
window open for every single one on the desktop as it tried to mount them
as loopback.
He was not happy.
