From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: fstab-sync adds usb-volumes on the fly with the mount option "pamconsole". This allows users with are logged into X or the text console to mount the volume. But it does not allow users logged in via the "su" command to mount the volume. I think this is an incosistency that should be removed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.5.2-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a console and log in as user A 2. Change the user via the "su" command to another user B 3. Try to mount a USB volume Actual Results: The mount command responds "only root can mount <path to mount-point>". This is obviously wrong since any user can mount the volume as long as he/she is logged into the console. Expected Results: I think fstab-sync should be set up in a way that any local user should be able to mount volumes. The error message in the mount command should be corrected. Additional info:
