I am trying to allow a non-root user to mount disks on a Debian Jessie (minbase debootstrap) system. I am using systemd (installed systemd and systemd-sysv) packages and trying to achieve disk automounting via policykit and udisks.
I installed: udisks, udisks-glue and policykit-1. I created a systemd script for udisks-glue. I then, using pkaction, determined I need to authorise: org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount So I created /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/90-mandatory.d/diskmount.pkla [mountdisks] Identity=unix-user:testuser Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount ResultActive=yes Running udisks-glue as root will mount the device under /media without issue; however, running udisks-glue as testuser will tell me I am not authorised. I have verified that I installed udisks1, and even changing Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount to Action=* is still not authorising this user to mount disks on the fly. My debootstrap did not bring in consolekit, and as far as I can tell, I shouldn't need this. How do I best diagnose why PolicyKit is seemingly ignoring my PKLA?
