Well, there is an unofficial freebsd port of pmount, it seems (judging from the list at the bottom of http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/pmount), so you could probably adapt that. But would http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=hotplugd work for you? Just make sure only root can write the hotplugd scripts and set it up to automount and you're good, no? -Nick
