Its odd, but I can mount my USB devices as 'anton'. Its back to the MAN pages. In this case the MOUNT man page, which explains how non-root users can mount things:
The non-superuser mounts. Normally, only the superuser can mount file systems. However, when fstab contains the user option on a line, anybody can mount the corresponding system.
Yes, but that doesn't apply if you give more than one parameter to the mount command. As soon as you specify anything more than the device or mount point, the fstab entry is overridden, and you can no longer mount as user.
I don't see the problem. It just means you have to get the entry in the fstab right :-)
halmount should work, but since hal is deprecated it won't be around much longer. I'm not sure what the replacement will be
I can't recall if pmount (policy mount), which can get around all that (and hence the hal wrapper 'pmount-hal') is in the future or in the past. The sad thing about hal being depreciated (2001 jokes aside) begins with phrases such as "just when I've got it all figured out ...." -- Any man who afflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood. --Henry Louis Mencken -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
