Authentication to mount device - permanent ??
IN F12 I have not found a way to give user a permanent permission to mount an additional internal disk. I have done this in F11. I did this with polkit-gnome-authorization ( i think).
I have forgot how I did this.
How is it done in F12.

If it still exists in F12 you should have a look in
/etc/security/console.perms
/etc/security/console.perms.d
or do a man on console.perms

There used to be a GUI package for this (and all other authorisations) in Fedora 11 - is that still there for Fedora 12? if so, anyone remember the name? I can't seem to find it...

system-config-authentication might do it. As a KDE user I hate having 1000 gnome packages shoved down my throat in order to use those tools so I just hack by hand.

I have exactly the same question. In Fedora 11 I used polkit-gnome-authorization for that, but it is missing in Fedora 12 Beta.

Any new information? I would file a bug report, but I don't know against what. Also, I hadn't any good results searching any reported bugs about that.

this works for me
i made a file called 50-mount-local-fs.pkla (i think you can use any name as long as it ends with .pkla) in /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/ with the following in it
# file to allow me to mount local filesytems without password
#
[allow me to mount local filesystems]
Identity=unix-user:paul
Action=org.freedesktop.devicekit.disks.filesystem-mount-system-internal
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes
needs your user name not mine, if there is a smiley face above it should read unix-user followed by paul, seperated by a colon
also from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PolicyKitOne
The policy editor under System → Preferences → Authorizations is going to go away.
and see http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polk...thority.8.html
for more info
