Hi; I read that post. Has anyone here considered "mdev" from the busybox package? I'm not a C/C++ programmer, just a Gentoo user, but I've been able to replace udev with mdev on my home machines. I was the ****-disturber who started up the wiki page... https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev I've also managed to enable automounting of USB devices using an ash script (I did say I'm not a C/C++ programmer). *GUI NOT REQUIRED* See the wiki pages... https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev/Automount_USB https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mdev/Automount_USB/automount Part of the reason for the "um" script is to allow a regular user to unmount a USB key or drive, without constantly running as root, and "giving away the store", security wise. /etc/mdev.conf supports executing commands after-creating and before-removing a device, analagous to "writing udev rules", but different format. busybox is actively maintained at http://www.busybox.net/ so it should be around permanently. -- Walter Dnes <waltd...@waltdnes.org> _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
