I ask because in Linux, /cdrom is generally useable as a mount point by all users. It's not a problem, just wondering. For reference:=20 the relevant line in /etc/fstab: /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 = 0 vfs.usermount is set to 1, and yes, I have read this page: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#USER-FLOP= PYMOUNT S.Mazerski To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
