Consider chown(8)ing the mount points to the current user on login (and root on logout) (using DisplayManager._0.startup and DisplayManager._0.reset or similar). I do this on a few multiuser boxes (at most 5 users per box though) and all users can use the same /etc/fstab lines. The mount will only work for the locally logged in user, which may be considered a bug or a feature ;-) -- Jilles Tjoelker _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
