PolicyKit.conf issues
Hi,
I can only get mounting via icons on desktop to work if I allow all in the PolicyKit.conf file like this: Code:
<match user="userid"> <return result="yes"/> </match> Code:
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <match user="userid"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </match> There's another thread touching this subject http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=492, but that ended at the above point. Created a new thread for this particular subject. I'm on 7.0 and using XFCE. Anyone have this working? |

No procfs, I read about it when googling for the problem and tried it without success.
I've tried again, but it still doesn't work. I'll try it again later and see if the symptoms are the same or different. |

It looks like my post is the one referenced. I do have proc mounted and in my case all that using the least privilege does is have a notification that a device can be opened then failing to mount or open that device.
I had difficulty installing FreeBSD7 and actually had to install 6.3 followed by an upgrade to 7 using buildworld. Perhaps there is some issue with a package configuration file not being updated. Incidentally, why would proc need to be mounted for policykit? I missed that in the configuration notes. I've also noticed that there seems to be some inaccurate or incomplete handbook sections for information on 7. |

No, doesn't work.
The moment I add restrictions to PolicyKit.conf file, it stops working. I don't even have to restart hald and dbus for it to take effect. I'll wait and see if 7.1 behaves better. |
