Every person should be albe to work with the machine. The only thing
that isn't working is auto-mounting of cd-roms and usb-sticks. If KDE is
started and I put a usb-stick in the computer there should appear a icon
on the desktop with the usb drive on it and that should also work for
cd-roms. On XFCE4 there should also appear an icon;
Don't know about XFCE4, but read on.
I also added the regular user to the group operators.
You don't wanna do that, unless it's ok with you that a user can get read
access to every file on every disk. Operator is meant for backup users.
What do I need to do to get it working?
portinstall desktop-bsd-tools and read the instructions about devfs, with a
major side-note:
ntfs/fat partitions can only be mounted by root, because mount changes the
owner of the disk to the underlying directory, so it's likely that your users
cannot mount usb-sticks.
To automount usb storage devices as root, have a look at usbd(8) and
usbd.conf(5). You'll have to provide an unmounter for your users though and
instruct them to unmount before removing or things go to hell.
