Re: [newbie] CD-Rom Permissions
Surely you should let ever user have access to thnis stuff. Log on as root and enter chmod -a+x /mnt/cdrom or whatever the device is. Hey presto, everyone can have a go.

Click Group definitions Click ADD Name the group. e,g, cdwriter. No need to do strange things with directories. Add yourself to the members of the group Click your way through OK and Accept until you're out of linuxconf. Then just (still as root) chgrp cdwriter /dev/scd0 (if scd0 is the cdrom) and that should be it. That's what i did. Paul -- I would only believe in a god that loves to dance.

Re: [newbie] CD-Rom Permissions
Someone on the SuSE list told me how to solve this: do ls -l cdrom (or whatever your mnt file is called). It very likely points to something else. The output looks something like this: ls -l cdrom cdrom - sdc1 change the permissions on whatever the file that is pointed TO. I made mine 444, don't know if that's the best, but it seems to work. --doug At 08:27 12/03/2000 +0100, you wrote: On Sat, 2 Dec 2000, R.
