That's a very interesting article and explains why my unmounter is never called. And yes, it is the proper way. devd (and usbd specifically for usb devices) has been created to be able to propagate kernel hardware events to user land. It follows unix principles that root is owner of the machine and it's resources and decides what to do with it. Using these events one can call simple scripts or very complex programs. As for KDE, also look at dcop. For instance: dcop --all-users --all-sessions knotify default notify notify Me \ "I just sent you guys a notification. I could use it to tell you that the USB stick has been mounted." nosound nofile 2 0 -- Mel People using reply to all on lists, must think I need 2 copies. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

auto mount xfce4 and kde
Hello, This week I installed FreeBSD on a computer of mine. Everything works fine but one thing I can't get working. Every person should be albe to work with the machine. The only thing that isn't working is auto-mounting of cd-roms and usb-sticks. If KDE is started and I put a usb-stick in the computer there should appear a icon on the desktop with the usb drive on it and that should also work for cd-roms. On XFCE4 there should also appear an icon; I saw auto-mounting working on Linux Mandriva and PCBSD but how do I get it working with FreeBSD KDE and XFCE4? I installed hal, dbus and policykit and added these lines to rc.conf: dbus_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" polkitd_enable="YES" I also added the regular user to the group operators. What do I need to do to get it working? Thanks!
