mount removable devices as normal user
|
|
|
|
pmount is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal
|
|
users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry. This
|
|
provides a robust basis for automounting frameworks like GNOME's Utopia
|
|
project and confines the amount of code that runs as root to a minimum.
|
|
|
|
This package also contains a wrapper "pmount-hal" which reads some
|
|
information like device labels and mount options from hal and passes them
|
|
to pmount. Install the package "hal" if you want to use this feature.
|
|
|
|
If a LUKS capable cryptsetup package is installed, pmount is able to
|
|
transparently mount encrypted volumes.
|
|
|
|
This requires ivman and HAL, both of which are available at SlackBuilds.org.
|
|
|
|
The user executing 'pmount' probably via 'ivman-launch' must be a member
|
|
of the 'plugdev' system group (which is required by HAL).
