[conspire] 2nd Technical Question

[Ruben Safir]

Generally I avoid Gnome or KDE, and use wmaker.  But one thing that has
been bothering me is the access to USB devices without root access.

Gnome seems to do this through some kind of dameon access, and I'd like
to mount my USB camera or flash drive without having to drop into root
and chmoding all of the /dev/bus/usb* devices to 777, or without
starting nautilus.

Anyone have a reasonable command-line option?  There used to be
hal-mount but that seems to be gone in opensuse 11.2

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt.  I guess you missed that one."
