My first post to the list. :) I have FreeBSD 6.2 installed and running wonderfully. I have built Xfce 4.4from ports and it too, is working very well, but I have one problem -- the new Thunar file manager does not auto-mount USB sticks. I know there is the traditional way of allowing users to mount usb per the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/usb-disks.html and that actually works fine for me. However, Thunar (the new Xfce file manager) has the capability to automount devices and it's not working. I have installed Hal, Dbus, and polkit and have those 3 things enabled in my /etc/rc.conf. I also installed thunar and the thunar-volman plugin. However, when I go to the "Advanced" tab in the File Manager settings manager in order to activate the auto-mounting, it states "Build thunar-vfs with HAL support to use the volume management support in Thunar." When I built Thunar I did enable Hal support, and I can't find anything in ports or packages about thunar-vfs. partial output of /etc/rc.conf: dbus_enable="YES" polkitd_enable="YES" hald_enable="YES" devfs_system_ruleset="localrules" in /etc/sysctl.conf I put: vfs.usermount=1 and in /etc/devfs.rules I have: [localrules=1] add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator I can mount a usb stick as my normal user without issues. It's just the automount feature in Thunar that is not working. If anyone has a fix or other suggestions I would be most appreciative. Thanks, Chess Griffin
