Re: mount/unmount scripts
True, but if there isn't a cdrom in the drive at boot-up time, the cdrom drive won't mount 8-) That's why I created the scripts. Have a look at the user and noauto options (I recommend man mount) My /etc/fstab contains the lines /dev/scd0 /cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /dos/a msdos user,noauto,rw 0 0 /dev/hda2 /dos/c msdos user,noauto,rw 0 0 /dev/sda1 /dos/d msdos user,noauto,rw 0 0 /dev/sda5 /dos/e msdos user,noauto,rw 0 0 This way mount /cdrom works from a normal user account and e.g. mount /dos/d from my normal login (bsb) makes all files on /dos/d owned by bsb.bsb No need for home-brewn scripts, no need for su. Hope this helps Siggy -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
