From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Epiphany/1.0.4 Description of problem: After symlinking /dev/flash to /dev/sda1, I have the following in /etc/fstab to mount a USB CompactFlash reader: /dev/flash /mnt/flash auto defaults,owner 0 0 However, when I mount /mnt/flash, it will only mount it as root because the device is owned by root. If I modify /etc/security/console.perms: - <flash>=/mnt/flash* + <flash>=/mnt/flash* /dev/flash* - <console> 0600 <flash> 0600 root + <console> 0600 <flash> 0600 root.disk the first person who logs into the console ownership of the device and thus I can mount it with read/write priviledges as the first user logged in. Is it possible to make this change in our default file? I could add the option 'user' to the /etc/fstab line to do this as well, but the other removeable devices like jaz, zip, and ls120 have root.disk associated with it in this file. Not sure which one is more correct -- using 'user' option or having ownership set automatically in console.perms. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pam-0.77-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add an entry to /etc/fstab for a USB CompactFlash reader 2. Right click on the GNOME desktop and select Disk -> flash 3. Notice it won't mount with the Details says "only root can mount /dev/flash on /mnt/flash" (unless I add the option 'user' to my /etc/fstab line) Additional info:
This should work fine with the current entry in console.perms file. Note, you must do it this way: 1. Add the symlink, add the entry to /etc/fstab 2. Log out 3. Log in 4. Try to mount it - it should work
When you say "current" do you mean the current version of pam in FC2, FC3test1, rawhide, or what? I'd be glad to test it out if you let me know what version to install.
I've tested it on current devel package of pam (0.77-56) but I think the pam_console module isn't different from FC2.
