+ For now only the powermanagement callouts are enabled in the default hal
+ config (org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement and
+ org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel). The users of group powerdev can

-This package runs hal as non-root. By setting 'DAEMON_OPTS=--drop-privileges'
-in /etc/default/hal (default), the hal daemon run as normal user 'hal' with
-some additional kernel capabilities and in some privileged groups (floppy and
-cdrom). This will not allow to execute callout scripts as root, though, so
-fstab-sync will not work.
-
-ATTENTION! This behavior is not fully compatible with running hal as root 
-since hal must be in group 'disk' to do file system autodetection on fixed hard
-disk partitions.  However, since disk membership is almost as dangerous as root
-access, the package does not put the hal user into this group by default. If
-you want to get the full power of hal, either let it run as root or add hal to
-the disk group with the command
-
-   adduser hal disk
-
-(as root). Please be aware that file system detection will work for CD-ROMs and
-hotpluggable devices even without hal being in group 'disk' since these devices
-are owned by group 'cdrom' or 'hal'.
