- Revise warning screen concerning USB passthru - fixes bnc#1041137. USB passthru opens a security hole, yet it is so valuable that many users want the feature, thus it is our default. Previously, a user needed to edit a udev rule to disable passthru. The bad part was that an update of VB changed the rule back to allow passthru without any notification. These changes modify the popup to allow the user to accept or decline passthru. If the user declines, then the root password is requested and the udev rule is modified. As these modifications will be lost with the next VB update, the inode of the udev rule is kept. If the user has previously declined and the inode has changed, the popup will show the next time VB is started. File "fix_usb_rules.sh" is added.
