Same person (more or less), however [EMAIL PROTECTED] is unroutable and 
invalid, as we never received a response I assumed a bug was not opened.  My 
fault for not checking.

Might be worth proding the debian bug submission bot to not accept mail from 
unroutable addresses?  Although of course the problem at source is me being a 
peanut :)

Perfectly valid reasoning, cheers for the speedy replace.

Sorry again for the time wasting.

Alex

This bug is identical to #496829.
Are you the same person as [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you not agree with the rationale I gave in #496829 or why did you
open another, exact same bug against hal?


Cheers,
Michael

Bug#496879: hal: more usb lack-of-mountability action

[Alexander Clouter]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.11-2
Severity: important

Although very similar to #486496 this one is because hal no longer 
honours groups added to the user by pam_group.

I upgraded a machine from etch to lenny and no can no longer mount USB 
disks and whatnot via thunar; identical error that Mr #486496 was 
getting.

So this got me thinking, in my /etc/security/group.conf file I have:

===
gdm;:*;*;Al-2400;audio,floppy,video,cdrom,plugdev,powerdev
===

And it does truely work, when I log in and type 'id' into an xterm I 
am a member of the plugdev group.  With etch this was enough, however 
with hal in lenny this is not the case and it seems to only care about 
whatever lurks in /etc/group :(  When I manually add my user to 
/etc/group I can mount and umount to my hearts content.

If course running pmount from an xterm with the pam_group method works, 
but then I'm in an xterm.  I'm guessing hal is evaluating the user from 
outside the context of pam and just as a raw user...or something?

Cheers
