How does this change relate to bin/11031? The above patches weren't written by me, but by a co-worker of mine. It allows for a termcap-like configuration file /etc/mountcap that allows you to specify a mountpoint/device, options, and filesystem formats to try. But best of all it allows you to check the ownership of a file or device to see if the user is logged in on console. For workstations that need user mounts you really don't want non-console users to futz with the removable media devices. Just wanted to remind ya all it was there. - Steve -- WaterSpout Communications, Inc. csg@waterspout.com 427 North 6th Street http://www.waterspout.com/ Lafayette, IN 47901 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
