A user came to the sipb office this morning trying to pull some
files off of a digital camera with a USB interface.

He plugged the camera into deathtongue, and received a dialog box
telling him that he didn't have permission to install hardware
devices.

I sent him over to the Macintosh, but I'm sending this note to
ask if there is any way to allow users to connect personal
storage devices to deathtongue.  USB keychains, card readers, or
cameras are fairly popular nowadays, and it seems it would be
helpful if WinAthena machines could read disks that users have.
