My system often has multiple users logged in, each accessible from a control-alt-f7 to cntl-alt-f12. The one that gets the automounting done is always the leftmost one that's running a desktop that supports the feature., Then I have to log in as root to unmount it, after which I can mount it as myself. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ mlug mailing list [email protected] https://listes.koumbit.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mlug-listserv.mlug.ca
