I only get one chance, one failed attempt and I get a dialogue telling me that the password was wrong, and that's it. Can I somehow configure it to give me more than a single chance?will check this up, as soon as i find where i have lost my usb key :(Failing that, how do I trigger a new mount attempt, without having to re-insert the USB stick again?workaround rmmod usb-storage modprobe usb-storage
I found another workaround: % pmount-hal /dev/<device> It would be a lot nicer to get a second chance with the flashy GUI though :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus therning org Jabber: magnus therning gmail com http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
