Re: permissions with udev/pmount?

[Nicolas de Sereville <deserevi@ieec.uab.es>]

A complement of information once is inserted my usb key:

12:37 gypaos@novae ~% ll /dev/gyp*
brw-rw----  1 root hal  8, 16 2004-12-24 12:38 /dev/gyp-cl-sdb
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    10 2004-12-24 12:38 /dev/gyp-cl-usb -> 
gyp-cl-sdb

I hope this can help.
