Note: I have yet to actually edit any of these, so it is possible the 
following information should come with the disclaimer "WARNING: here be 
dragons". :)

ls /etc/udev/rules.d
ls /etc/hal

granted I do need to eventually figure out how to edit them, as I want 
removable devices (USB sticks, CD/DVDs, floppies) to be mounted noexec.
[had it figured out on FC4 with hal, just have not figured it out with the 
udev setup yet]
