Is there any way to do this for cdrom's too? I'd like to restrict > access to whatever is mounted under /cdrom to a given group. Yes, of course. Pick a GID, replace /dev/fd0 by /dev/cdrom (or whatever the cdrom device is), and replace the gid=25 by something else. > Btw, affs is providing a feature equivalent to msdos's umask, except that > they called it 'mode' instead.

The msdos and iso9660 fs have umask, which is a mask specifying the bits to discard on the existing permissions.
