Re: How to make mount command mount partions as user not only as root ?

hello

Thak you for your replies

well, i know that i can use fstab etc but Why cant' I pass params to mount
command directly? Mount command reads what is written in fstab, does it not?
Exacly in this way it should read the params i set should it not?

I vaguely remember that there was a way of doing it... by changing chmod +s
for mount

Thanks you

For example there was some free space on disk I made a partion and would

anything in fstab

Why are you so opposed to editing fstab? You appear to have root
access since you were able to create a partition and change
permissions on files and directories that are in directories that
normally belong to root; the idea here is just that you, as root, can
give access to ordinary users by editing fstab. So do it.

I am actually very tempted to assume that he does not have root access on
that machine, and that certain things he describes as "having done" have
actually been done by the real root user.

Either way, if he had /su/ or /sudo/ rights, he could create a partition
and
mount it anyway, without having to edit */etc/fstab.* The fact that he
hasn't thought of this solution yet leads me to believe that he's actually
trying to crack a box. :-/
