Comment # 3 on bug 1004917 from Dmitri Popov

Hi Tomas,

Yep, I contribute to LPM, and I'm really happy to hear that you find my
articles useful. :-) Thank you for your kind words and clarification. You do
have a point there.

I'm trying to find the best possible wording. According to Tuxera: "Please note
that using setuid-root can result unforeseen privilege escalation and its usage
is discouraged. Only the absolutely trusted users must be granted such access."
So this is not a sensible option.

So I'm thinking of replacing this sentence:

To mount a Windows partition as a normal user, proceed as follows

with:

Since under normal conditions the unprivileged user can not mount NTFS block
devices using the external FUSE library, the following steps require root
privileges.

How does this sound?

Best,
Dmitri
