By default, local devices will just work.  Plug in your usb stick
and things will function.

It does.

I don't have access to a Windows Terminal Server, and, to be perfectly
honest, have no real personal desire to get this going.  I've seen
on the ltsp mailing list that some people have tried, with varying
success.  Try looking through the ltsp-discuss archives, but
I'll be perfectly blunt: For me, personally, I don't care about
Windows Terminal Server working with local devices, so someone else
will have to get that going.  They're welcome to submit patches to me,
and, if they're sane, I'll accept them.  But as I don't have access
to WTS, I have no idea how to make it work myself.
