Thanks for the info. I wonder if the solution is to use a phrase other than "Internal" that actually indicates what this field is used for. You mentioned "the Internal flag is only used to relax authentication checks on removable devices" but I'm not clear on what exactly this means. Does it mean that "Internal: True" devices need root/sudo access to update and "Internal: False" any be updated by any locally present user? -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
