Well, this is excactly what I want to do. Or should do on another machine, too. And I think this can be a reasonable default for handling these kind of devices on a workstation installation. I am aware of the problem when attaching the device to a machine where I have a different uid. But I am also aware, that on all my Fedora machines at home, at work and so on I have the same uid, cause I am the user that has been setup during installation. Basically all the machines are single user workstations. And even if it makes a die-hard unix user shiver, it allows me and my girlfriend to exchange disks, cause she has the same uid on her machine. :) Well, but back to my problem. Do you know where I can read about the hal stuff? Or how to configure these things? I never looked into it and some googling this evening didn't bring up any useful information.
