Description Doug Bunger 2005-10-14 19:26:52 UTC
Description of problem:
After implementing U2 via RHN, USB flash rams are not accessible via the Gnome
desktop.  Errors seem to indicate an SELinux permissions issue.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
On an i386 system in runlevel 5 at a Gnome desktop, plug a USB flash ram into a
USB port.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Plug USB flash ram in a USB port.
2.  From a terminal window, execute "ls /media" to find the target directory.
3.  Attempt to access files in the target directory.
  
Actual results:
Target directory is created under /media, but data is not accessible.

Expected results:
Target directory is created under /media, files are accessible, icon is created
on the desktop.
