hi there, in trying to hunt down a hotplugd issue on the eeepc, i have come across the following issue.
i use the kern.usermount facility. i can umount anything i have mounted manually. but if the mounting was done by hotplugd or from /etc/fstab at boot time (by a root process in one word) even if i have everything enabled in order to use usermount the umounting operation is not permitted. this could be seen as a security feature, a bug, or possibly both... if the devices are owned by me, the mount point is owned by me, i personally see this as a bug and not a feature, after all, this is about users mounting/umounting... from where i stand, this is similar to root creating a file with owner set to a user. this user will be able to modify/delete the file, because it doesn't matter who created it. but if this _is_ a feature, perhaps it could be mentioned in the manpage or the faq in one form or another. -f -- and god said, e = 1/2mv^2 - ze^2/r, and there was light.
