Description of problem: When a normal user is logged in, and the user plugs in a USB storage device, HAL automatically mounts the new device under the /media directory. In Fedora Core 6 the new volume had the ownership of the logged in user, which allowed the user to modify the contents of the device. Starting with Fedora Core 7 (not sure which test - I've seen it in test 2 and now in test3 and in rawhide of 1 week ago), HAL mounts the new media using 'root' ownership, which effectively makes the new device read-only. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.5.9-5.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in as a non-priviliged user 2. Plug in a USB mass storage device 3. Try to put some file into the device Actual results: Failed - no permissions Expected results: Success Additional info:
