  12         If you wish to take advantage of the hotplug and automount-style features
  13         that apps like gnome-mount, gnome-volume-manager, or the like offer, create
  14         a 'plugdev' group and add your user to it, or change the 'plugdev' group in
  15         /usr/etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf to something else and make sure your user
  16         is a member of that group.
