Hi!
I'm setting up autofs for removeable disk access (floppy & zip), but can't
seem to get it writeable for any but root:
[lrclause@coral lrclause]$ ls -ld /disks/floppy
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 7168 Dec 31 1969 /disks/floppy
[lrclause@coral lrclause]$ ls -l /dev/fd0
brw-rw-rw- 1 lrclause floppy 2, 0 May 5 1998 /dev/fd0
[lrclause@coral lrclause]$ cat /etc/auto.disks
# This is an automounter map and it has the following format
# key [ -mount-options-separated-by-comma ] location
# Details may be found in the autofs(5) manpage
floppy -fstype=umsdos,user,nosuid,noexec,sync,nodev :/dev/fd0
cdrom -fstype=auto,nosuid,noexec,sync,nodev :/dev/cdrom
I haven't been able to find anything related to this in the docs or a quick
grep of the source. What I have found is that the umask of the mounting
process is used for the mountpoint, so if I mount it manually with a 000
umask, I get it world-writeable.
So the question is:
Should I try and hack autofs to have a umask (or perms) option to allow
specific settings (I'll also want eventually to do home dirs by autofs, so
I don't want it globally set), or should I get autofs to make the automount
point to be owned by the one who accesses it, or is there some other known
solution to this problem?
My system is a RedHat 6.0 with kernel 2.2.14 on an i386, using autofs 3.1.3.
Kindly,
-Lars
