The part of hal that deals with this permission has a nice little comment about it. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

This is a pure dbus/HAL policy issue. I want to use "dbus-send" to allow a non-root user access to unmount an already mounted USB drive that was mounted by another non-root user. Both users can mount and unmount through HAL already, but they cannot unmount each other's mounts. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Hal policy for allowing umount of other users mounts
Pretend you're on Fedora 10. (No DeviceKit) Also, pretend you don't use PolicyKit. What's the correct way to allow "hal-storage-can-unmount-volumes-mounted-by-others" for a particular user and/or group? +100 points to person with the correct answer. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
