Mine never does this, but I always kill any kind of automounter service
in every install because I'm a control freak and I only want it to do
things when I tell it to, although that's getting harder and harder with
the newer versions.

Is it just me, or does anybody else think the distributions are getting
sloppier over time?  I like all the new cool stuff that's getting
packaged in the distros, but IMHO RH5.x was as stable as a table, RH6.x
was a little flaky, and RH7.x bothers me to the point I'm considering
changing my favorite distro from RH/Mandrake to something else.  I know
this is probably something for alt.linux.redhat but thinkpad users seem
to have unique challenges and I haven't upgraded my desktop lately.
