Hi,
It make senses if you're running a box headless (it will be headless
soon, now i'm testing it with K+V+M attached). We're using a CentOS box
to plug USB Flash drive & external hard drive into it. The CentOS box
is then used to FTP the content of these external drives to a Winblows
box, all that filtered by a firewall between the 2 boxes. Only FTP is
allowed.
Doing some tests on the CentOS box, i saw that if i log into the
console, then the local session and the remote VNC sessions will see the
drives automounted. If i log out of the console, then the VNC session
won't see anything. It's like the automount works only if somebody is
logged at the console.
Hope i was clearer. Thanks!
