[rox-devel] Mount Point Authentication

[Greg S. <gs...@fr...>]

Hello,

I will soon have people sharing my main computer, and I like the
convenience of using ROX to mount and unmount things at will.  This, of
course, requires entries in /etc/fstab.

The obvious problem, is I don't want everyone knowing my passwords to
the mount points on my servers and therefore wish to keep them out of
fstab (these are samba shares).  

Well, if I try to mount one of these through ROX's mechanisms, it
simply freezes my X11 session, as the mount operation requires
authentication.

Is it possible to add a password prompt dialog for filesystems that
require manual password entry?	This is something that really should be
implemented for remote filesystem mount points.
