I have learned more. The automounting does not occur when my machine is running level 3. This is actually something that gnome (specifically gnome-volume-manager) does in cooperation with HAL, so I can turn off the automounting with : gnome -> System -> Preferences -> Removeable Drives and Media And there are no options besides turning media automount on and off, none that I can find with the configuration editor, either. Fooey. I just turned it off, and built some shell scripts to do it (and sudo'd mount, umount, and eject so I can drive them as a user).
