Automatic mounting has nothing to do with servers or the type of machine I am working on. My laptop is not a server, however I don't need any automount feature. Who says that I want to have immediate access to the content of a CD-ROM or USB stick after insertion/plugin?
Who says you(means the user) won't ?
Who says I want everybody currently logged in on my desktop machine to have access to my CD-ROM after insertion of the CD?
classic /etc/fstab user entries do have the same problem. Actually, this problem was solved thanks to subfs and resmgr. Only the user logged in on :0 got access.
Remember, Linux is a multi-user system. Sometimes I just plug my USB stick in to avoid loosing the stick (they are almost too small nowadays ;-)) - then it's mounted, a window pops up, etc. Really annoying! If somebody wants to have all those "features", that's fine for me. But I must be able to turn it off easily!
