[solved] mount -o loop as user

[batistuta]

Is there any way to mount a loop device as a user? I know I can allow that via the fstab, but that would be for a specific image. What about allowing to mount an arbitrary iso image as a user? This shouldn't be a security concern, because in theory you could burn the image and put it on your cd-rom drive and read it. So in terms of security I don't see a compromise. Thanx

batistuta,

Allow the user the use of the mount command via sudo
sudo allows you to restrict who can do what as root

@NeddySeagoon thanks for the hint... I was just looking for an easier way to do it, maybe by allowing any user to mount at a specific location.

@MostAwesomeDude Good point, didn't think about that

@NeddySeagoon (again): congratulations for your new position, you more than deserve it.

I'll closed as solved
