I'm using it with HAL/g-v-m... what do you want to know? Basically, it's an suid-wrapper around mount that allows a user to mount volumes without becoming root themselves - by default, it's restricted to any volume labelled as removable by the kernel (in sysfs). I understand that Debian and Ubuntu further configure it to be runnable only by members of a specific user group, but the default is to be runnable by anyone. Simon.
