Hmm. What's to stop a user fetching their own version of the pmount binary? I assume that won't work since they won't have the appropriate device permissions. If so, then a+x mode is safe, and directed by Debian Policy (I think. If not, it's in the Developer's Reference as a good idea). If not, then there's a nasty security hole at that point. The rest of it sounds good. I'm not fussed about hal, since I don't use gnome-volume-manager, but pmount might work better for me than autofs4, which you can't manually unmount without becoming root. >_< -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 7th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) [EMAIL PROTECTED] "No survivors?
