Re: Passwordless automount under regular user

**********************************************************************
I've got a question for you: what's the reason for the necessity of manual creation of automount polkit rule to be able to mount disk partitions using GUI FM without entering password? Here is the rule I need to create:

[Allow Unauthorized mounting/Unmounting]
Identity=unix-group:plugdev;cdrom
Action="">ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

  Why don't  maintainers set this up by default in Debian? Are there any specific reasons (security, etc...) for that? For example Ubuntu and its derivatives have this behavior enabled by default.

Could you please kindly explain it to me or provide me with a link to a proper documentation?

Good Morning dear Debian GNU/Linux users!

I've got a question for you: What's the reason I need to create following automount rule for polkit

in order to mount disk partitions without a password from any GUI filemanager?

[Allow Unauthorized mounting/Unmounting]
Identity=unix-group:plugdev;cdrom
Action=""
ResultAny=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultActive=yes

 Is this intended behaviour and what is the case for doing this?

  Why don't  maintainers set this up by default in Debian?

  Ubuntu and its derivatives have the feature has been enabled.

 So, would you like to explain the matters to me?
