Ubuntu: Usable Linux

To access my (USB connected) eToken under Windows XP, this is what I had to do:

1. Added myself to the vboxusers group (logged out and logged back in)
2. Verified that I was a member of vboxusers using the following command:
   groups my_user_id
3. In the VirtualBox Settings page, selected USB and create a USB filter for the eToken (which showed up grayed out since Ubuntu was seeing it).
4. Use VBoxManage list usbhost to see the list of USB devices that VirtualBox could see along with their status. The status for eToken said Available.
