Actually, I found this spiffy port while looking for a good reference to point you to: cd /usr/ports/sysutils/automounter && make install then read man automounter for setup instructions. Keep in mind that the reason this is less than simple is because automatically mounting removable media is a huge security risk. The fact that it's so convenient that most people ignore the security risk does not mitigate the risk in any way. > You are correct that I was not dismounting then removing the drive.

I.e. umount /usr, not /dev/ad0s1g -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
