Aaaarrghh :-) :-) Not the group but the _owner_only_. I thought that
group also worked that way, me bad. I really got used to mount only in
/mnt but well now I can also use my working directory for that :-) :-)
Thank you Steve!! :-)

Now I need to read about flags for automount so it does not change my
mount point ownership and permissions so I can umount as user.. then
tune its options so it umount the vanished device for me.. maybe I can
even fix the device so it vanishes in a graceful way :-)

This automount feature is really nice, saves some time on a
workstation that swaps usb drives a lot.. I can now also use pendrive
with dumps from an oscilloscope and stuff like that.. and always I can
simply turn it off with only one or two rc.conf lines of text :-)

I just love FreeBSD :-)

Thank you! :-)
Tomek
