They want to exec mount explicitly. We can put machines in a lab configured so that these devices show up on users' Desktops. Then they don't even need to know how to use mount and umount. We tried this with am-utils, but it's just not ready for this kind of thing. I guess we could make a KDE program object that ran a script than ran sudo, but then unmounting the device would be unintuitive. I think my way is much cleaner. Hope that makes sense :-) ... ajk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
