Currently, detach -clean is a privileged operation. There seems
little reason for this. It would be useful on dialups if users could
detach filesystems attached by logged-out users. Users are already
required to be in /etc/passwd to work normally, so this would not hurt
anyone who isn't already losing.
To make this change, change main.c line 760 (+/- a few) from
case 'C':
if (trusted_user(real_uid)) {
clean_detach++;
} else {
fprintf(stderr,
"%s: You are not authorized to use the -clean option\n", progname);
}
break;
to
case 'C':
clean_detach = 1;
break;
