Hello,

This week I installed FreeBSD on a computer of mine. Everything works 
fine but one thing I can't get working.
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;

I saw auto-mounting working on Linux Mandriva and PCBSD but how do I get 
it working with FreeBSD KDE and XFCE4?
I installed hal, dbus and policykit and added these lines to rc.conf:

dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"

I also added the regular user to the group operators.

What do I need to do to get it working?

Thanks!
