trouble aoto-mounting USB drives

[Steve Gaarder]

My SL 5.1 machines are not automatically mounting USB drives.  RHEL 4 did this 
fine, so I am surprised.  I have found that the hotplug package is no longer 
present in version 5. Apparently, its functions are now handled directly by 
udev, but I haven't found any information on how it is supposed to work.  I 
note that /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug is empty on 5.1; on RHEL 4 it contained 
"/sbin/hotplug".  Can someone explain how the new setup works?  Are there 
manual configuration changes I need to make?

thanks,
