Dear all,

I'm new in DSL and I'm facing a security problem. I want to limit authority of mounting HD to root user only. However, user can easily mount to any drive by using the Slit panel on the right-bottom corner. Does anyone know how to remove or disable the mounting function of "Slit"?

Thanks in advance...

it'd be better/more secure to edit fstab to allow only root to mount stuff.

to remove mount.app from the startup stuff, edit /usr/bin/enhance

or, failing that

killall mount.app

Thanks for your reply.

However, how can I edit the /usr/bin/enhance file?
I tried to open it with a text editor but the file is read-olny. I tried to set it to read enable by [chmod 777 enhance] under root login but can't success.

Would you mind to tell me more?

sudo beaver /usr/bin/fstab

should get you there.

Thanks again for your reply.

It does open the beaver program with an empty file of fstab. However, what should I do next? I think I should edit the /usr/bin/enhance file but the problem is I can set it to write enable.

(I'm absolutely new in DSL and my question may be not clearly stated...)

Regards,

Thanks in advance...
