kde automounting
Is there a way to get kde's automounting functionality working under obsd? At linux I think it uses hal-deamon plus something like pmount. Some way to make /etc/hotplug/attach call some kde application with DISPLAY=:0.0 that lets the gui-logged user mount (or not) its usb drive ?

Why not just mount the stick (with hotplug) in all cases when it's plugged in? -- Antti Harri

I'm planning futher installing obsd on public (shared) environments. I think p(u)mount can be a good solution to let an unprivileged user mount/umount removable media on its will. Sudo access to mount/umount is dangerous.

Sudo access to mount/umount is dangerous. 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
