For better or worse upstream decided to take the policy configuration out of HAL. They are working on PolicyKit which should allow for better control over policy such as mounting. We are in the process of evaluating it. Options right now are to add a static mount to /etc/fstab or edit /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-mount. If someone wants to go more indepth and send a patch for /usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-storage-mount which uses the old policy keys from HAL I have no issues with releasing a new package for FC-5 as long as it is deemed to be secure. -- John (J5) Palmieri <johnp@xxxxxxxxxx> -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
