Hello everybody! I've got a challenge I want to meet which came together with F7. I want to mount a particular USB drive as soon as it is plugged in - as a user who is NOT logged in. It has to be done as "user", because the user must be able to unmount it after he logged in. The system I've created worked perfectly with FC5 and FC6 but ceased working since F7. I use a hal .fdi spec to call a script which mounts my USB drive. Additionaly I had to write a DBUS rule allowing this particular send messages without being logged in. All scripts are attached below. F7 comes with a new component: ConsoleKit. It seems to me that hal with compiled-in ConsoleKit support does not allow anybody who is not logged in to mount anything. I only get messages like ** (gnome-mount:32736): WARNING **: Mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_8658_2213 org.freedesktop.Hal.PermissionDenied : Permission denied: Not in active session The workaround I found: I've rebuilt the hal package without ConsoleKit support. Is there a way to convince hal WITH ConsoleKit support to cooperate and respect my wishes? ;) Or is it a bug? Maybe you know a smarter way to do what I need? -- Bye, Adalbert
