OK, googling around I find that some versions of mount want "pamconsole" in /etc/fstab, and some versions instead want "user". Red Hat, who originally developed usermode, uses the former version of mount, but Debian uses the latter.
Since usermount doesn't actually do anything other than fork/exec mount anyway, I think it ought to accept either, and let mount decide whether the fstab options are really OK. In the worst case, usermount will offer a device as mountable that is actually unmountable due to someone putting the wrong option into fstab, which is harmless enough. I'll do a patch.. should have it ready in a couple days. -- Christopher Cramer Executive Director, DAPAC "There are only two kinds of politics.... One says: You are encircled by monstrous dangers.
