--=-SPFwDdLyHN5Pj42VfJvO Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I know we have vfs.usermount, but this is not always sufficient since the user has to own the mount point in question. What I propose is to add a ``user'' mount option =E0 la Linux. This would make mount and umount setuid root, but would allow much more flexibility when it comes to removable media and desktop systems. I'm not a src committer, so this isn't a threat to commit. I'm more interested in getting feedback, and hopefully some src committer interest. I think this would really benefit desktop FreeBSD. http://www.marcuscom.com/downloads/usermount.diff Joe --=20 Joe Marcus Clarke FreeBSD GNOME Team :: gnome@FreeBSD.org FreeNode / #freebsd-gnome http://www.FreeBSD.org/gnome --=-SPFwDdLyHN5Pj42VfJvO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBEMLN0b2iPiv4Uz4cRAnwHAJ9kyfUvJazsVtcWTUBXhsGXJsGbAACcDi5/ iZX3aMmN/afmJL0SvDfZ+GQ= =WrKx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-SPFwDdLyHN5Pj42VfJvO--
