 cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-1/serial</code> allows to determine the serial number of a USB device. Those SHOULD be unique, but sadly, they aren't (and sometimes, they are missing entirely). Therefore, a USB serial number can't be used for authentication, but it could be used for "weak" identification - so it could be used to set a default user name or a default session, or to download a particular sessions file.
 Authentification and "hard" identification could be implemented using OpenPGP cards, ''scdaemon'' and a script based on ''/usr/share/doc/scdaemon/examples/scd-event''. For Status ''NOCARD'', suspend the session (kill x2goclient or send a signal that means "suspend", if available, or maybe sighup nxproxy), for status ''USABLE'', run ''gpg --card-status 2>&1 | awk '$1=="Serial" && $2=="number" {print $4}''' to determine the card's serial number, then act based on that (pull new sessions file or set default user, for example, and restart x2goclient).
-FIXME <del>Automount script expansion is in the works. Will fully support VFAT, NTFS, hfs, hpfs, will offer read-only support for ext* via fuseext2 (that way, file ownership/permissions are ignored).</del> fixed.
 FIXME <del>Maybe we should add symlinks to the mount points created by the automounter: Currently, we create ''/media/vendor_model_name/sdxn'' as a mount point. The idea is to allow the user to find their portable device using the vendor/model name description. However, this is unusable for scripting, as the ''//x//'' in ''sdxn'' may change any time. We should replace ''//sdx//'' with ''//partition//'' (or have corresponding symlinks created), but what should we do for //superfloppies// that only have ''sdx'' with no partition number? We could mount them as ''/media/vendor_model_name/partition/'' or directly at ''/media/vendor_model_name/''. Also, symlinks using labels and uuids, similar to ''/dev/by-*'' would be handy for scripting. Another problem: when replacing ''sdx'', what will happen when a user inserts two media with the same vendor/model name at the same time? Blindly replacing the string would make one of them inaccessible due to overwriting the symlink(s). We'd have to start checking active mounts and enumerate them like ''/media/vendor_model_name/1/partitionn'' or ''/media/vendor_model_name-1/partitionn''</del> Fixed. When a label is detected, a symlink is now created under ''/media/vendor_model_name/label'' that points to ''/media/vendor_model_name/partitionn''.
