That's great, even though I'm not technical enough to understand what
the patch actually did. However, I was wondering: it is ok to allow
unprivileged users to mount/umount removable devices, but what about
fixed devices? Wouldn't it be better if general users be able to
mount/umount fixed drives only if they are part of some special group,
e.g. "mount" ?
Suppose that I, as "sysadmin" of my home PC, have another HD that I use
for backup... I surely wouldn't like my mom or my sister messing around
that hd... Well, just my 2 cents.
