Mount in general denies its services to non-privileged users unless explicit authorization is made in /etc/fstab. I'd like to be able to mount filesystem images from an already mounted filesystem without having to authorize myself specially. I don't think this is possible, but I'm curious (1) if I'm wrong and it is possible, and (2) what the security concerns of this would be as long as mount restricted me to mounting files I own on mount-points I own and didn't permit files in the newly mounted fs to have permissions or ownership that I couldn't otherwise give them. -- Jeff Jeff Abrahamson <http://jeff.purple.com/> +1 215/837-2287 GPG fingerprint: 1A1A BA95 D082 A558 A276 63C6 16BF 8C4C 0D1D AE4B
