Here is my attach.conf:
nomountpoint ^/etc ^/
mountpoint ^/mit ^/mnt
I cannot seem to mount things on /mit/* or /mnt/* with the above
settings. It seems that my attempt to lock-out mounts over everything
but specified directories failed. Is there any way in which this can be
done?
Yes; reverse the order of the two keywords. All will be explained in
the yet to be finished man pages. Basically attach goes through the
(no)mountpoint commands, and the first regexp to match is how it
determines whether it should be allowed or not. This means that more
specific regexps should be first, and more general ones should be last.
Also note that if you have nomountpoint ^/, you really don't need ^/etc.
