Thanks, I deserved that!-)

According to another search, the problem could also be addressed by 
making the user part of the adm
group, I did that, or thought I did, but that doesn't seem to help.

Also previously in F 11 and earlier, I could put a new disk in an 
enclosure, plug it in and the utility
would find it, and give the option to format, mount etc. As far as I can 
tell the utility (accessed as
root) no longer does that, or is there something else I am missing?

Thanks for the time and attention.

cheers, Paul
