I think I remember I got it working some time ago (on a 7.1 system), relying on the Gnome HAL FAQ which stated something like this: File: /usr/local/etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf <config version="0.1"> <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <match user="marcus"> <return result="NNNNN"/> </match> </match> <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed"> <match user="marcus"> <return result="NNNNN"/> </match> </match> </config> For "NNNNN", use your user name; I think you can also use more than one "match" section if you want to allow access for other users. However, I doubt all this HAL / DBUS / PolicyKit magic is really intended for multi-user purposes. :-) Note that HAL also has an option of "fixed mount points" to be set at compile time. I think I had set it... I'm also unsure if NFS mounts are "fixed" or "removable" in PK terminology. Regarding your second question, I can't provide any further information. I just assume it's a means to turn a safe multi-user system into an insecure single-user system, which is what users expect. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
