>Description:
	When a non root user mounts a filesytem, the filesystem becomes
	owned be root:wheel. That ist anoying because the user can not
	create objects in the root of the newly mounted media (removable
	disks etc).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Allow non root users to mount filesystems (sysctl vfs.usermount=1).
	As an non root user create a directory in your home directory. Now
	mount a filesystem (e.g. CD-ROM or a removable disk) to that newly
	createt directory. That directory is now owned by root:wheel until
	you unmount the filesystem.
>Fix:
