Trouble with automounting externals...tried autofs, hal, udev.

I'm having trouble automounting external USB hard drives, can somebody give me some pointers for setting this up on a fresh install please?  I'd rather use udev and unmount everything from the terminal, but I can't do that until they actually, you know...mount.

I can mount manually, but it gets tedious to do this for ~6 externals every time I boot.  Anyway, I'm trying to get udev to work, and I've used the wiki here, but even after a reboot, I'm getting nothing.  Any ideas?

You can put it in a script or into .xinirtc.

Ehh, that's not the best solution, I'd rather have any and all USB devices auto mounted, so if I have somebody drop by with a USB stick I don't need to go to CLI.

Why udev isn't working for you? Do you have pmount installed? Any error messages?

Awesome, thanks, I forgot to install pmount. (d'oh!)
