Something keeps hogging my removable drives

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Help a newbie (to Ubuntu and debian -- but quite familiar
with Unix and Linux)?

Something keeps mounting my removable (Jaz/zip) drives,
and I don't necessarily want that to happen.  The worst part
is, I have yet to be able to eject one of them.  I find I don't
recognize about half the contents of /etc/init.d, which is
where I would look on the other systems I've used.  Moreover,
the system controls for these things also give no help.
I have the feeling I could be looking right at it and not
recognize it.  It's also possible it's in some place I haven't
learned to search yet.

What service is it, and how do I turn it off?
