Subject:   FAQ 7.32. How do I let ordinary users mount floppies

Hello !

In the section http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/admin.html#USER-FLOPPYMOUNT of
the FreeBSD FAQ, there is mentioned the following:

"Enabling vfs.usermount, however, has negative security implications."

Is only the (content of the) floppy itself involved in these security
implications (caused through the permissions "666"), or are there side
effects with the setting of vfs.usermount ?

Thanks in advance: Toni.
