The following script will automount usb-storage devices as the first user logged in, concurrent with the behavior of other devices, such as the floppy or CD-ROM.

If the last line were a different /dev/sd* # device, that device may be mounted. # LASTLINE=`tail -n 1 /etc/fstab` USBDEV=`echo $LASTLINE | egrep -o ^\/dev\/sd[[:alnum:]]*` if [ -n $USBDEV ] ; then MNTPOINT=`echo $LASTLINE | awk '{print $2}'` # Determine the user context in which the device should mount # NOTE: The device listed in the last line of /etc/fstab must # have an /etc/security/console.perms entry in order for # the user context to be valid. MNTUSER=`ls -l $USBDEV | awk '{print $3}'` # Mount the device in the context of the user su - -c "mount $MNTPOINT" $MNTUSER # TODO: Is there a way to force data to be written immediately to the # device? Doing so would prevent data loss when the device is # unplugged before it is unmounted. # Remount to enable special options # NOTE: Doing this prevents the user from unmounting manually. # mount -o remount,sync,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noatime $MNTPOINT # Set up the umount script echo '#!/bin/bash' > "$REMOVER" echo umount $MNTPOINT >> "$REMOVER" chmod u+x $REMOVER fi </etc/hotplug/usb/usb-storage END> -- Shawn Iverson Technology Associate New Castle Community School Corporation 765-593-6691 shawn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
