Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I have a good idea what
you're saying. Seems to me this is the same that Jurg emailed to
me a long time ago. I'm not sure why I didn't take his advice
about the "comment=managed" keyword.

Anyway, I'd like confirmation on a couple of things:

Seems the stuff you say for all users amounts to changing the
...keyword.primary to "comment=managed" from "managed" and using
the existing s/pamconsole/users/ sed.

This is all I can see different.

Next thing is that my current setup does not have a userspace
tool setup to *automatically* mount the devices, though since I
just use the regular mount command (not pmount), I should be
able to just mount manually using the fstab file update and
mount point creation that HAL does, correct?

I can also boot into a partition that has gnome-volume-manager
setup and test there as well, if I need to. But it doesn't
sound like I need to.

Yes to both of your suggestions. Summary: use your per-site config,
using the 8859-1 and 437 stuff, and no, I don't need to see how
different values make it so that other locales work, it is obvious
to me.

Hopefully, I'm on track here.
