- If you just want users to be able to use messy dos disks, then you
- might want mtools.
-
- If you also want ordinary users to be able to mount linux disks or, say,
- CDROMS, then you might want to use a mount program that I wrote
- some time ago. It supports exactly this, by way of an /etc/ufstab file
- that determines what and where ordinary users can mount.
-
- I can post the mount/umount pair if anybody is interested, but the are still
- quite alpha.
