udev permission problem - dvd-ram mounts only read/writeable for root

[Michael Vert]

Ok... a few hours later, and a few how-to's smarter ... :-)

The culprit isn't udev. Udev is doing everything as it is supposed to...

The problem is the gnome-volume-manager.... and in its wake: pmount

I was wondering, why can I access my USB stick without problems, but not
the USB DVD writer.

The answer is simple:
The DVD writer was plugged during boot, while I plugged in my USB stick
while I was logged in and running the desktop.

In the first case, root is running the mounts, thus creating a link in
/media which only root can access; while in the second case, the volume
manger was running with my user ID, the link get my ID, and I can access
it as normal user.

Is there a way to fine tune the automount process?
