pmount is meant to be run by a normal user, usually from an automounter, |
| 15 |
as its main objective is to allow normal users to mount removable devices |
| 16 |
without fstab rules, while udev rules are run as root. So if you want it |
| 17 |
to run as a user from a udev rule you'll have to use su, as in |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
su youruser -c 'pmount /dev/PTY' |
