Well in an effort to use Slackware on my latop for more general stuff I am trying to set up my thumb drive to play nice with my non-root user. So i want to make sure this is set up right.
Basically I wrote a udev rule that takes any thing from KERNEL named "sd*" and is on the "USB" bus, and put a symbolic link called "remdrive" in /dev. In this rule I have udev assign the /dev/sda1 or "remdrive" the "users" group.
Next I created a folder in /mnt called "thumb", with the group being "users" as well with 0666.
Then I headed over to /etc/fstab and added this line:
/dev/remdrive /mnt/thumb auto noauto,user,rw,sync 0 0
So with all that are they set up right, as far as Groups and stuff? I got tired of sudo'ing up openoffice to access /mnt/hd.
Thanks
