An alternative approach is to open up permissions on the device, by finding the right "MODE=0660" line in /etc/udev/rules.d and changing it to "MODE=0666". Then the group membership won't matter. I don't actually know how to do this, but there are promising-sounding entries in /etc/udev/rules.d/91-permissions.rules, you might try editing the "usbfs-like devices" section there as a starting point. It's also possible that the gnome-mount is setting some permissions somehow, you may need to edit that also. Sorry to be so vague, it's just another approach. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / rei...@bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
