Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: mountmanager
If sudo has been used for another program within the sudo time limit,
starting mountmanager will automatically run with root privileges.
For example the following commands will cause fstab to be rewritten without
user consent:
sudo ls
mm
The command should be considered a destructive command since it makes
changes to the system immediately on startup.
The mm script should either require an admin password, require the user
to use the sudo command, or not make changes to the system.
