Still unable to mount the NTFS partitions on the removable disk. The wiki helped with the ext3 partitions, but I still do not understand why man hal was wrong on suggesting the following (3) scenarios: <define_admin_auth group="wheel"/> Should give members of the wheel group full access to all mounts, but it did not? <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <match group="users"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </match> Should give group "users" (the default group GID 100) the ability to mount removable devices but it did not? <match user="david"> <return result="yes"/> </match> Should give "me" full access to mounting/unmounting, but it did not? The question then becomes why did the following work for ext3: <match user="david"> <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*"> <return result="yes"/> </match> <match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options"> <return result="yes" /> </match> <match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options"> <return result="yes" /> </match> </match> Why in the world did this <match user="david"> work when the one just above didn't? One of my goals in life is to avoid looking in /etc/hal and /etc/dbus-1 ... I'm failing miserably ;-) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
