I want to let my usbsticks automounted, so I installed hald and gnome-volume-manager. When I attach a usbstick to my usb-port a message window appears declaring: "Cannot mount volume". So, I found a tipp in a mailinglist: editing /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf : I changed <policy group="plugdev"> to <policy group="444"> (444 is the gid of plugdev-group). After restarting hald everything works fine. Is this a bug? Timo Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a mountable device sys-apps/hal: 0.5.7.1-r5 gnome-base/gnome-volume-manager: 2.15.0-r1
Do you have an ldap or NIS server? do you use nscd? did you edit /etc/ns* files?

Seems like a dbus problem looking up the group. Please provide the output of "id" as run as your user.
need info requested previously by me. Additionally emerge --info. Also, the version of HAL used it no longer supported since it's been superseded. Also, need dbus version.
