Martin, Jeff? When pmount was initially created, we explicitly defined that pmount must not mount hard disk partitions. In Ubuntu, hard disk partitions which are supposed to be used by the user are created statically in fstab, and you can explicitly allow additional devices in /etc/pmount.allow, though. > Oh, reminds me... is there a standard library that GNOME apps can use > and it'll use the preferred way of auth on different distributions?

However, I'm not aware of a project to abstract these into a library. Martin -- Martin Pitt http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer http://www.ubuntulinux.org Debian Developer http://www.debian.org
