At first I was assuming that you wanted to know how to mount a CD as a user. Then I noticed your domain name. I guess you either already know how to do that, or know how to find out. If not, ask your boss :-) My understanding is that you can't get the Solaris behavior. Solaris does something called volume management with regards to CDs and floppies. It's sort of like automounting but not quite. But you can get most of the same behavior using amd, the automounter. Now this is going to be very embarassing for you, but there's an article on this very topic at DaemonNews: <http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200202/automounting.html>; :-) David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
