Is there any way of letting "mount -a" mount a list other than what is in fstab. The scenario is this. I am trying to set up a few account to be able to use ftp. I want these users jailed to their home directories, and give them access using the mount --bind option. I found a solution which works as follows. I make a directory under the user directory, say mounthere and put the following file in fstab /home/user/dir /path/to/dir none bind This mounts dir in /home/user/dir, and the chrooted user can access the file outside his tree. Is there anyway of passing a list to the mount command, or is it ok to just use(abuse) fstab like that -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
