How do I let ordinary users mount floppies Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello ! In the section http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html#USER-FLOPPYMOUNT of the FreeBSD FAQ, there is mentioned the following: "Enabling vfs.usermount, however, has negative security implications." Is only the (content of the) floppy itself involved in these security implications (caused through the permissions "666"), or are there side effects with the setting of vfs.usermount ?
