Oh, wait, did you say that the group file is *empty*! (i.e., a file with zero byte size)! *That* could be a problem. On my systems, I have both an /etc/group and an /etc/group- file, and they are almost identical. (They differ by one line.) Try copying "/etc/group-" to "/etc/group". (Do this as root.) Then change the file permissions of /etc/group to -rw-r--r-- (644). Then shutdown and reboot. I wonder what happened to your /etc/group file? That's very strange! You didn't accidentally erase it, did you? -- .''`.

It would appear that some sort of system daemon with root privileges is issuing the actual "mount" and "umount" commands. The hot-plug event causes the mount; so the system doesn't associate that with any particular user. (How does it know who plugged the device in? It doesn't!) But the umount is requested by a specific user through a desktop icon. Perhaps the system daemon that I speak of is D-Bus, and it decides whether or not to allow the umount depending on what group(s) the user belongs to. And his missing /etc/group file is probably the key. -- .''`.

Note the device "mount" options, automatically added by hal: *** /dev/sdc1 on /media/disk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=hal,shortname=lower,uid=1000) *** nosuid, nodev, uhelper=hal, uid=1000 Maybe the perms of the OP's device are wrong :-? > Perhaps the system daemon that I speak of is D-Bus, and it decides > whether or not to allow the umount depending on what group(s) the user > belongs to. And his missing /etc/group file is probably the key. We still don't know if "umount" works when logged with another user in a GNOME session :-?
