Not to mention that there at least is one daemon that should run with user privileges only: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/jackd.1.html >> Why is there not a user fstab in which the user can specify mounts he >> or >> she wants to use?

It's possible to mount all available devices by fstab, but only to grant privileges per user, let alone that some people don't use fstab at all on systemd installs. Regards, Ralf
