======OS - Linux - Distributions - Red Hat - Notes - Disable User Automount======

// Tested with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9. //

When inserting (USB) storag into a Red Hat Linux system all logged in users on the (default) Gnome desktop receive the following message:

{{:os:linux:distributions:redhat:notes:mwsnap816_2017-11-27.png?nolink&400|}}

To disable:
  - Check the current setting:<code>sudo /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --direct \
--config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
--get /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount
</code> // This will show as "No value set for `/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory`" right after installation. //
  - Set to disabled:<code>sudo /usr/bin/gconftool-2 --direct \
--config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory \
--type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount false
</code>
