I have really no idea whats going on. The system where policykit has problems is a system with NIS running autofs running and without local (non-system) users. Could this cause any trouble (it did not however from suse8* to suse11.0, with generally identical installation) ?
Here. Just put this in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf, between <config version="0.1"> and </config> will solve both of you problems (just replace "your user name or uid" with the real thing): <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <match user="your user name or uid"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </match> <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.unmount-others"> <match user="your user name or uid"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </match> <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.hibernate "> <match user="your user name or uid"> <return result="yes"/> </match> </match> Charles -- "We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."
