Is there any way inside hal policy to build logic based on which user is console user at the time? Console user is a special desgination after all, and it seems perfectly reasonable to me that you can run into multi-user networks where the competent administrator wants to have the device appear differently based on who the console user is. Mundane example... I have two users Dick and Jane. If did is on the system as the 'console' user can i have a specific device mounted readonly under the mountpoint /media/Dick's Drive and when Jane is console user have the specific device be mounted read-write under mount point /media/Jane's Drive. Is hal policy flexible enough to deal with different users in different ways? Or to create a mount point based not just on device information but on 'console user' information as well? I realize that the default hal policy tries to target the most common single user needs... but once you start considering multi-users systems local admins might want to create policy that works differently depending on who is logged in at the console. -jef
