Package: pmount Version: 0.8-2 Severity: important
hal release 0.4.7-4 provided some new options to control mount policy, stuff like umask and gid for mountable devices. Unfortunately, pmount-hal completely ignores anything specified there. I think that pmount needs to be patched to query and use these options if they are set. I think that these two fixes in combination will allow the closing of 296914. I think this is an important bug to fix, since there is a CLEARLY defined policy now available through a well specified mechanism, and pmount is completely ignoring it- rendering the package useless to me as the mounted device could be exploited by an undesireable by simply sitting at my computer and plugging the device in. I'm going to look at providing a patch to pmount to add this in. Hopefully will be done soon.
