Actually Ubuntu Linux uses pmount: pmount is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/fstab entry. Together with hal and gnome-volume-manager (or similar programs) this will provide fully automatic device handling without user intervention.
Do we have a "debian solution" about this issue? Or we want to use updtfstab? I tink actually Debian doesn't has any "official solution". How we can use pmount on a Debian system? Cheers, Blue
