If cats had their way, they would be overlords.
And yes, they have infiltrated the organization.

And they, I take it, have delegated the food bowl and excrement pan
maintenance to you? Its a dirty job, but I suppose somebody has to do
it.

So, not takers on how to disable auto mounting of external HDs?
Kate
I believe that you can disable automounting by opening up Konqueror:
media:/
Right-click on the icon for that item, then you can go to
Properties > Mounting
and check your mount options.
Try doing as your username first; if you still have problems, then open up
Konqueror as root:
tdesu konqueror
and try again. (Of course, all the usual precautions about running anything
as
root.) Messing up your mount options can make external
HDDs a headache.
If this doesn't work, then you probably want to examine these files:
/etc/fstab
/etc/mtab
However, I try not to mess with these, if everything else has been running
fine until now. If you try to disable automount for a new HDD, you may
inadvertently change mounting options for other drives, which will be worse.
