Why should the user on :0 be special?

Cause this is the kind of policy I'd like to see :)

It doesnt make sense though. Eg, I remember in College the SPARCStation labs (for some reason) each only had one workstation with a floppy device. 9/10 the user using the floppy was not on :0.0.


I can imagine something similar today with Zip/Jazz/DVR-RW+packet UDF/$CHIC_REMOVABLE_MEDIA_DE_JOUR.

Yup. However, this doesn't connect nicely with mount(8). mount(8) only mounts as a user according to /etc/fstab rules, not by block device owner :\ Maybe this should be fixed up somehow.

Hmm, that's a decent point.

Sure, but 'who is allowed to trigger the mount'?

Whoever is allowed to access the device surely?
