modified hal.conf to allow access, now working
/*
my User is a member of optical and storage as suggested in the wiki, but only root can access removable media that is inserted. The storage device will show up in thunar and on the desktop but as a regular user I get the message below when trying to access the device: (Unless I have opened it as Root first)
Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.19" (uid=1000 pid=2471 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1927 comm="/usr/sbin/hald))
How can I allow regular Users to access removable storage?
Thanks

Hi,
what changes did you make to your hal.conf? Care to share?

I added these lines:
<policy group="power">
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/>
</policy>
<policy group="storage">
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
</policy>
