mounting


Hi all,

I have created a guest account/user and I do not wish this account to be able to mount my windows HDD. my /dev/hdb1 is owned by root and in group disk. The new user does not belong to group disk. Why is this account still able to mount the drive?

Thanks,

Erik

you could move /bin/mount to /sbin/mount. or chmod 750 /bin/mount.
