This is done by hal - or it would happen on the console too. do you want the device nodes created at all? or just not mounted? you can completely disable usb storage devices using /etc/modprobe.conf, if you wish, just add this line to it: install usb_storage /bin/true This will prevent usb_storage devices from working (as long as usb_storage is not already loaded). It's a bit of a drastic solution, but it works fine. However, their device nodes will also not exist, so manual mounting is out of the question as well. > Maybe somebody can offer advice on this: If I leave the libusb section in > 50-udev-default.rules file and put my new rule that does notification in a > 20-local.rules I understand that the 20 file is a higher priority.

The hal solution offered earlier seems like a good start if you want the devices to be mountable, but not automounted. There's probably a gconf key to prevent this from happening under GNOME, too if you'd rather. KDE will have a similar setting. Stuart -- Stuart Sears RHCA etc. "It's today!" said Piglet.
