Markie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Grafton" To: Sent: Wednesday, April 09, 2003 10:15 PM Subject: fbtab and cdrom 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 and mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /home/{logged-in-user}/cdrom 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. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
