Comment 12 for bug 211760

I had this problem. Immediately after a fresh install of Hardy USB automount worked fine. After a few updates from the Update Manager it did not. Then I remembered that I am now using NX to connect to the box and am not at the console. The details here (http://iandefor.wordpress.com/2008/05/04/howto-the-secret-to-freebsd-and-hal/) solve the problem, except the files are under /etc/dbus-1. There is a policy for at_console which I assume was used until I began using NX.
