    Angry Using HAL fdi policy to restrict access to a mounted USB

    Hi,

    I have a requirement of mounting an external usb with NTFS filesystem and allowing restricting its access only to the console user(even restricting access to a single group is fine). I am able to mount the usb by using the attached fdi policy. However, I want the access to be restricted to a single user or a group. Is there anything that I'm missing here. I did search on the internet, but couldn't find anything in this regard. Plz help!!!




    Thanks,
    Sumanth

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    For this sort of thing, I create a mount point in my home directory, blocking access to anyone but myself or root, then mount it there.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
