This is probably overkill unless you want to restrict mounts to special persons. You can use the normal mount (be sure to use the newest one; which is bugfixed). Put something like that into /etc/fstab: /dev/cdu31a /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user,exec,suid 0 0 /dev/fd0 /floppy/a msdos noauto,rw,user 0 0 /dev/fd1 /floppy/b msdos noauto,rw,user 0 0 And any user can mount your cdrom. Check the mount(8) and/or fstab(5) manpages. David -- David Frey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> |Microsoft isn't the answer...it's the QUESTION.
