Please go back and read my follow-up email as well as the PS file from
the bugzilla entry.
And if possible, re-phrase that. I don't pay attention to trolls,
usually. But this time I'm not sure if it's just that you didn't read,
understand or even bothered to see the details at all.

I'll ignore the other non-sense stuff, and answer to this one. Fedora
Core and most distributions out there currently allow unprivileged
users to mount filesystems. Check out automount and the other tools
that come with Gnome, KDE, etc. In win32 you have third-party tools
that allow all sorts of filesystem images to be mounted (ex. Daemon
Tools), also.

Anyway, it strikes me that your e-mail even managed to get through the
moderation filter. Dave, accidental mistake? :-)

I thought we didn't have trolls over here.

Cheers.
