No, there is no builtin capability to allow non-root users to use mount(8). Yes, there are other ways than sudo. Personally, I think a very short, very securely written, setuid, wrapper program to call mount would make sense. > `man fstab' `man mount' seems to indicate no `user' mount options. Well, 'mount_msdos' has a 'user' option but it means something else. If you want mortal users to mount MSDOS floppies, tho', you may want to use it. -- Crist J.
