[OpenIndiana-discuss] Regression of opensolaris.org bug: 12133/regular user can no longer eject removable media

[Ivan Wang]

Hi oi list,

Not sure if anyone ran into the same issue as I did.

Running oi_148 (image-updated from opensolaris b134) I found it is
unable/umount or eject USB flash drive as regular user.
Neither can it be done via selecting umount in right-click gnome context
menu.
I need to pfexec umount -f with root privilege to umount the USB drive.

It looks like a regression of opensolaris.org bug 12133
https://defect.opensolaris.org/bz/show_bug.cgi?id=12133
and chown /dev/console symbolic link target to myself (logged in at gnome
console at the time) also solves the issue.

As a comparison, I tried Solaris 11 Express and the issue cannot be
duplicated. then I went on some basic checks.

/dev/console and its symlink target permission are the same on both oi_148
and Solaris 11 Express.
Enabling/disabling vtdaemon does not affect the outcome on both oi_148 and
s11x,
auths/profiles output are also the same.

So my guess is that somehow oi_148 does not have the same fix somewhere in
related code like Solaris 11 Express does
(or opensolaris b134, for that matter, I didn´t recall seeing the issue in
b134 either)

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Ivan.
