The way I have it set up is to allow my user to mount the usbdisk directly. This means the user has to own the mountpoint (probably best to put it in his homedir), have rw perms on /dev/da0s1, and vfs.usermount has to be set to 1. Then the user will be able to use mount_msdosfs without special privileges to mount /dev/da0s1. No fstab entry needed. The hard part is giving the user rw perms on /dev/da0s1. You have to create a devfs ruleset in /etc/devfs.rules. Then you have to activate it with the rc.conf knob devfs_system_ruleset. See devfs.rules(5) and /etc/defaults/devfs.rules. - -- Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFC33Dspt3yYclAKVsRAmUjAJoDf20daxKIGNwjnW7HcXXqbdfwcwCbB+8z wPx8arIqB5Eu6M+B8lhi4Ag= =Xy2D -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
