Network user cannot access usb drive


I'm running CentOS and I get an error when I plug in my usb flash drive.

Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied

A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface “org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume” member “Mount” error name “(unset)” destination “org.freedesktop.Hal”)

I've read around and the solution seems to be to add my user to some groups. But the thing is, how would that work when all of the users are network users(openldap)? So these are not local accounts.

You can still add usernames to groups by editing the /etc/groups file.
