Description james 2006-04-25 17:31:36 UTC
Description of problem:

The man page says:

 When the tool starts up, it scans /etc/fstab for all filesystems
 that have been configured to allow users to mount and unmount them.

but then usermount fails to identify filesystems with the "user" option, showing
instead

 There are no filesystems which you are allowed to mount or unmount.

"sudo usermount" will work, but that is not the point.

I've seen this behaviour on two different machines.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
usermode-gtk-1.80-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. usermount
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
There are no filesystems which you are allowed to mount or unmount.

Expected results:


Additional info:

"/etc/fstab" is world readable.

This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.

You can use the (undocumented) "pamconsole" option instead of "user" as a
work-around.

Fixed in rawhide usermode-1.90-1.  Thanks for your report.
