Setting permissions to access devices.

C

Crunchy

I don't know what I missed...
Code: 
uid=1001(crunchy) gid=0(wheel) groups=0(wheel)
But automounting pendrive gives
Code: 
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
CD/DVD is detected but invisible in GNOME, rm works in shell after su, but not via drag&drop.
My policy is very liberal.
Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->

<!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">

<!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format -->

<config version="0.1">
        <return result="yes"/>
</config>
I didn't use Xorge -configure, but GNOME works fine.(?)
 
Are HALd and D-Bus running (pgrep hald ; pgrep dbus)?
Is vfs.usermount enabled, i.e. =1 (sysctl vfs.usermount)?

Xorg can sometimes autodetect everything just fine and may not need any xorg.conf file.

Take a look.
Code: 
# mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
/dev/ad0s1e on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1f on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates)
/dev/ad0s1d on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
/dev/msdosfs/KINGSTON on /media/KINGSTON (msdosfs, local, nosuid)
# sysctl vfs.usermount
vfs.usermount: 1
# pgrep hald && pgrep dbus

Okay, try adding a devfs rule then:
# devfs rule add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator should work on the live system.

To make it permanent:
/etc/rc.conf:
Code: 
devfs_system_ruleset="localrules"
/etc/devfs.rules:
Code: 
[localrules=5]
add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator
A reboot would be necessary.


EDIT: I am not sure what device you are trying to mount. The above is for USB devices. Use acd* instead of da* for ATAPI devices and cd* for SCSI devices.

Just restart the devfs script after making changes (tested):
# /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
