There might already be an automated way to do this now, but on FC3 it isn't hard to write a udev script specific to the device that changes the permissions on the device when it's inserted. Can CF cards be repartitioned? I've got both a VFAT and an ext2 on my usb thumb drive and it works well. (Yes, there are less demanding embedded Linux filesystems that'd be more appropriate, but they may not be supported by every computer I might use the drive with.) -- Stuart Jansen e-mail/jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden
