Testing the compiled daemon

  Normally the daemon must be run with root-privileges. gif Nevertheless it is possible for a normal user to start the daemon as long as the configuration file exists and is empty, as in this case no mount() calls are issued (which is the only thing that actually requires root status). In this case the daemon must be compiled without the MONITOR_MOUNT_COUNT option. Otherwise it will block at the beginning of the main loop as there are no mountable devices.
