[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I want to be able to access my cd drive as normal user. As any user, not a specific one. So it's a problem that I can't mount it to a general directory like /cdrom since only one user can be owner and it looks like it's required that the mountpoint belongs to the user, even with vfs.usermount=1 set. I can't see any security reason for that. If I decide to let users mount something (with vfs.usermount) why is there an extra check regarding the owner of the mountpoint? Is there another sysctl which disables that prerequisite or at least shifts the check to group instead of user id? Thanks, -Harry [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCex/EBylq0S4AzzwRAkHxAJ4hSDMgyD6Wxl4//Gx+DeQ13HsE/ACfdyew iXTIrmlU6FH6/ACLdlxZB3I= =8iDu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
