Bug#1053303: Wishlist request to allow "mount --fstab /etc/fstab.d ..." as a user
Package: util-linux Version: 2.37.2-4ubuntu3 Severity: wishlist I can break the /etc/fstab into separate files in a directory, but /etc/fstab.d won't be read by default. I would have to use an explicit argument "mount -T /etc/fstab.d" but the -T (and the equivalent --fstab) are only allowed to be used by root. I like the idea of splitting the fstab into files so I can compartmentalize the information and manage the files independently in GIT. When I install a new system I'd just plop the files into /etc/fstab.d and not have to use hacks like appending or patching, which make the contents of the file look like junk. Could you please allow "-T /etc/fstab.d" to be work for users, and just exclude users from using other path-arguments? I suppose this would have to be implemented upstream of Debian, but I don't know how to file that.

Bug#1042801: Enhancement request to "AcceptEnv TZ" in /usr/share/openssh/sshd_config file
Package: openssh-server Version: Latest By default, the /usr/share/openssh/sshd_config file contains these lines |112 # Allow client to pass locale environment variables 113 AcceptEnv LANG LC_*| ||I'd like to have the TZ variable added to the list on line 113. That way when I travel, and connect to some remote cluster from wherever I am, the dates on everything will be relative to my current timezone. Note that, unless someone uses an explicit "SendEnv TZ" in their connection, everything would behave as before. I've asked the managers of several of these clusters to add the TZ variable to the list. Most of them refuse to do it, under the assumption that it would cause a security breach. I think that the change needs to be made upstream. || //
