Fixed In Version: usbclerk-win-0.1-5
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: This issue is caused by improper installation and uninstallation of USB drivers. Consequence: After a remote-viewer client is closed while a USB device is connected to a client machine, it becomes impossible to use the USB device on the client machine. Fix: A new package, usbclerk, temporary installs usb drivers on a per-session basis. When the session is concluded, usbclerk uninstalls the usb drivers. Result: USB drivers no longer remain installed on client machines after remote-viewer clients are closed, and client machines regain access to their USB drives at the conclusion of a remote-viewer session.
