I've just installed 4.8 and am having some trouble with non-root users
mounting cdroms. I have following entries in /etc/fbtab:
/dev/ttyv0 0640 /dev/acd0c
/dev/ttyv0 0700 /cdrom
and my fstab has:
/dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
When I log into the console as a standard user and perform: mount /cdrom
The system then responds with an "operation not permitted" message.
My next attempts included changing the ownership on the /cdrom directory =
and
the /dev/acd0c and changing the permissions on these to 0777. I have =
also
tried mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom=20
and
mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /home/{logged-in-user}/cdrom=20
where /home/{logged-in-user}/cdrom is wholly owned by the =
logged-in-user.
All attempts have resulted in the same message, "operation not =
permitted".
However, if I log in as root I have no problems.
I would really like to take the approach of using the fbtab file.
My goal is that a non-root user can log in to the console and execute a
script that mounts the cdrom, copies its contents to a folder on the =
system
and then unmounts the cdrom.
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Randy
P.S. I installed the eject program from the sysutils port and tried to
implement it in my script, but I can't get that to behave either. Even
trying it from the command line, the mounted cdrom won't eject.
