Package: usermode
Version: 1.81-3
After upgrading to debian-etch, when I try to start
the program usermount for a non-root user, I just get the message:
"There are no filesystems which you are allowed to mount or unmount.
Contact your administrator."
The message is wrong, since there are several lines in /etc/fstab with
the "user" option in them and the corresponding filesystems (floppy,
cdrom, usb memories, ...) can be mounted with no problems by non-root
users either from the console or from the multiload applet of
gnome-panel. On the other hand, usermount seems to work OK if executed
by root.
I do not know if this is a bug or perhaps I have something
misconfigurated somewhere (I do not think so, since the filesystem can
be mounted if usermount is not used). Usermode Debian package installed
is 1.81-3. A copy of /etc/fstab follows:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
