--nextPart1920691.7CX9Jf8rAq Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hello, I want to be able to access my cd drive as normal user. As any user, not a= =20 specific one. So it's a problem that I can't mount it to a general=20 directory like /cdrom since only one user can be owner and it looks like=20 it's required that the mountpoint belongs to the user, even with=20 vfs.usermount=3D1 set. I can't see any security reason for that. If I decide to let users mount=20 something (with vfs.usermount) why is there an extra check regarding the=20 owner of the mountpoint? Is there another sysctl which disables that prerequisite or at least shifts= =20 the check to group instead of user id?
