No, it's not. You can either have each user have a mountpoint in their own home directory, or you can use a common mountpoint which gets forced to the ownership of the user in the login procedure (typically via fbtab(5) or the XFree86 login, e.g. xdm's GiveConsole script). You have to be careful with security, but it's not very different from letting ordinary users mount media in the first place. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
