Description of Problem: updfstab discovers removable media and always uses the "owner" option in /etc/fstab so that locally logged in users have permission to mount these devices. In some situations (like labs) this may not be desired as people would mount their media, forget about it, log out, and not be able to retrieve the media. Included is a patch to address this issue. It adds a new option to updfstab.conf "noownermount" when set to "true" does not use the "owner" option in /etc/fstab. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kudzu-0.99.69
Created attachment 79665 [details] patch for updfstab.c to add noownermount option
In Fedora Core 3 and later, handling of mounting of devices is done via the 'hal' component. As such, changes to updfstab are very unlikely to be made in the future (in fact, it is no longer shipped in the kudzu tarball.)
