The second problem is permissions. As root I tested
Safely
Remove with USB flash drives and Eject with an optical disk.
The icons disappear for both, and the optical disk
physically ejects. Although after the disk ejects the "eject
-T dvd" command stops working until after I use the drive
eject button. Then the "eject -T" command works.
I can't figure out what the permissions problem might be. I
don't see any special suid permissions on any of the TDE bin
files or the eject command. Could the TDEHW code cause this
behavior?
Could pmount be causing this behavior? I never have used
pmount before so I am a complete noob.
