Hmmm. "equery b" for /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf or just /etc/PolicyKit
doesn't return any packages on my system.
I suspect that they belong to some part of KDE, as the permission errors I was
tracking down came from the Dolphin file manager, and they could thus control
how KDE uses the policykit framework. They may also be leftovers from when
KDE/Gentoo used to use policykit, and have since stopped. It's sometimes hard
to keep up with these changes.
It's possible that I created the file and directory by hand, after finding
instructions via Google search, such as
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65070
In case you want to risk this, the full content of my file is:

mmm... i don't have this file (or the /etc/PolicyKit directory, for that
matter). i only have the /etc/polkit-1 directory, belonging to
sys-auth/polkit.
the PolicyKit.conf file should already be there? which package provides
it? or can i just create it from scratch?
best,
lj
I don't have those either. According to eix, policykit is no longer in
portage either. The package polkit is there tho. I have it installed
here which is pulled in by KDE. According to the dev mailing list,
policykit is gone:
# Samuli Suominen<ssuominen@gentoo.org> (25 Jan 2011)
# Replaced by sys-auth/polkit. Removal in 30 days.
# Bug 340331.
sys-auth/policykit
Maybe things will get a little bit less confusing now...;-)
Might want to check into polkit instead.

Hal is deprecated. Try avoiding it as much as possible.

I have read all the discussion, and, unfortunately, I can't help you Luis.
But I am asking the way to assign mountpoint like hal did.
As it is said, Hal is deprecated. But it was easy to say "when you plug
6566-3243 flash drive, the mountpoint should be my_usbdisk".
Now, automounting works good and great for me with udev/udisks, no problem,
except that I would like to have the same behavior : having my drives to the
mount point I want (having good icons rather than just a usual folder icon
would be a plus !).
I am right now on KDE 4.6, and so...

Automounting USB drives
I recently did a base install and then installed a handful of packages
to get myself X and Openbox running on my system using XFE for my file
manager. I am running into an issue where when I plug my external
(NTFS) hard drive in to my machine, it is not automounting like it
would if I had XFCE installed first. I added my user to the plugdev
group and I can manually mount it. However, I would like to have it
automount again without having an entry in /etc/fstab.
Is there a volume manager I can install outside of the DE environment
to get this working again? I have been searching for a couple of days
now but I have not found anything yet.
Thanks!
-Matt

If you don't want to manually deal with udev and its rules, you could
consider "halevt" or "pmount".

Notice autofs is a light and pretty good option...

autofs has been mentioned. There is also thunar-volman, but thunar comes
with it and you may not want that. ivman is another possibility.
