The issue is that gui applications that support mounting expect that the us=
er=20
can mount the device, and that there is a usable fstab entry. FreeBSD  can =
be=20
set-up to allow the former, but the latter requires per user fstab entries.=
 =20

I was just wondering if there is any way to curcumvent the restriction that=
 a=20
mount point must be owned by the mounter.
