Dear Brian,

I am running an LTSP setup on 12.04. On the LTSP AMD64 image, I installed the packages from the proposed repository by adding precise-proposed to the sources list then running: apt-get install sshfs/precise-proposed sshfs-dbg/precise-proposed

I then updated the ltsp image and rebooted the ltsp client computers. Access to the home directories via sshfs is automatically set up. When I downloaded a new file with firefox and went to open it - I no longer got the warning about running an executable file.

I also tried double clicking on PDF files and text files in my sshfs mounted home directory using Nautilus and did not receive any warning messages about running an executable file.

Regards,
Adam Zammit
