Weird. I have seen this as well. What I suspect is that the interactions as root establish the correct mount flags for the device. Then at a future time a user can mount it because the config established by root is the configuration needed for the daemon to mount the device later. There has been a lot of attention to company data theft via USB devices. It may be that you are seeing interactions with a policy framework intended to address this. Do look for and at /media/.hal-mtab Since it is a "one time only problem" it will take some care to file a productive bug with a test case, instructions to reproduce etc. -- NiftyFedora T o m M i t c h e l l -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
