This is doing my head in. I'm trying to get my head around hal, dbus, and PolicyKit, and I've made some inroads on the basics, but I cannot get a few things happening.

One: I managed to get network:/// smb shares working in say nautilus (not that I've specifically mounted one- not a windows in sight here thank god!), but I was hoping for NFS shares to show up. I also got the usb disk to show up as a 'place' but when I access it I get permissions issues. This is what I'm hung up on.

I checked out /media/hal-* and I see that the mount occurs only as root. How do I change that exactly? I need it showing for operator group. I've searched high and low and googled my brains out, but anything remotely related is for linux and udev.

Two: a big thing I've noticed here on google, lists, whatever is a confusion related to the 'define_admin_auth' group. Some are saying it is a security risk to have an average user access this area, and others are just opening it up. I'm with the former, unless I can be convinced otherwise. Can anyone provide some clarity to this issue? What precisely is the capabilties of the 'admin_auth' group?

Cheers
