== Mount removable devices as normal user ==

[[DebianPkg:pmount]] is a wrapper around the standard mount program which permits normal users to mount removable devices without a matching /etc/[[fstab]] entry. This provides a robust basis for automounting frameworks like GNOME's Utopia project and confines the amount of code that runs as [[root]] to a minimum.

This package also contains a wrapper pmount-hal which reads some information like device labels and mount options from hal and passes them to pmount. Install the package [[hal]] if you want to use this feature.

If a LUKS capable [[DebianPkg:cryptsetup]] package is installed, pmount is able to transparently mount encrypted volumes.

Devices have to be enabled in {{{/etc/pmount.allow}}} adding the following lines:

{{{/dev/cdrom}}}

{{{/dev/sdb1}}}
