[opensuse] Active Directory and HAL

31 Jul 2007

      I have a suse 10.2 joined to a Windows 2003 Domain and my Domain user
can logon and I can work as well but I can't mount peripherials (CD,
DVD; USB Keys....) because by default HAL seems to ignore the existance
of my user; the exact error is: rejected message had interface
"org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unser)"
destination "org.freedesktop.Hal".
Since the output of the id command for my user is:
---

    uid=10000 gid=10000(PU\domain users) gruppi=10000(PU\domain
    users),10001,10002,10003,10004,10005,10006,10007,10008,10009,10010,10011,10012,10013,10014,10015

I modified /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf adding policies for my user and
group and now the file is as follows:
---

    <!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC
     "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN"
     "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd">

      <!-- This configuration file specifies the required security policies

        <allow own="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>
      </policy>

I still have no luck and the message is the same.
Searching for some info on the web I found a thread on a russian suse
forum
(http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:U305nY6p4isJ:lists4.opensuse.org/opensuse-ru/2007-03/msg00008.html+hal+mount+pam+domain&hl=it&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=it&client=firefox-a)
and I followed it so I have added the line

    ; *; *; Al0000-2400; dialout, video, cdrom, audio

to the file /etc/security/group.conf and

    auth optional pam_group.so

to the file /etc/*pam*.d/common-auth.
Still no luck ... still the same message.
Any idea?
Bye
