I"m using the command mount_cd9660 > /dev/wcd0c /cdrom Any suggestion on what I'm overlooking? Have you tried making mount_cd9660 setuid root? If you do this, I'd also chmod it to something like 4550, chgrp it to something like 'cdrom', and add people who you trust to use the cdrom drive in group 'cdrom'. Might work, or it might not. sudo (in the ports) could be another option. -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk send a blank message to ben+pgp@scientia.demon.co.uk for PGP key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
