Marco already raised udev[1]. So it might be simply a requirement that you turn that support on when you compile your own kernels and that it's turned on in lenny-and-a-half (if that happens). It's good to keep in mind, though, thanks. ;-) I think if that patch (because it's a tad larger) gets sufficient testing on stable we can do it, if it makes pmount more robust. I just want to argue that it's not strictly necessary because it's not a configuration that we support. Kind regards, Philipp Kern [1] Which might be kind of special anyway and in need for an upgrade for a newer kernel, I think. -- .''`.
