[X2go-User] Forward USB using USB IP

Hi x2go folks,

this topic already last year:
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/x2go-dev/2010-September/001087.html

Recent linux kernel provide support for USB forwarding over IP (kernel
config: CONFIG_USB_IP_COMMON/CONFIG_USB_IP_HOST).

Has anyone tried to make use of this feature in conjunction with x2go?
Of course xygo *does* provide support for usb mass storage and printers.
But usbip appears to be a low level devices driver that should support
almost any device types.

Integration with x2go should not be too hard as x2go already supports
secure portforward/tunneling which is required by usbib (in untrusted
environments).

Have a nice day

Michael
