Hi Pierre,

This is a setuid binary, which doesn’t seem like a good idea in general.

For what it’s worth, automounting works just fine for me.  When using
Nautilus USB drives are automatically detected and can be mounted (and
unmounted) with a single click.

Even without Nautilus you can mount and unmount drives without the need
for root privileges, e.g. with

    udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdb2
    udisksctl unmount -b /dev/sdb2

I’m curious: What do these tools offer compared to udiskctl or the magic
of Nautilus?
