I've searched all over the net and the documentation without finding a method to do this that works. I'm using 4.4-RELEASE. I know that this is a huge security hole and all that. I don't really care. Its a single user system. No one but me and my brother have physical access to the machine. I'm not worried about him since he is deeply afraid of my computer ;-) So far I've tried adding myself to the operator group and changing the permissions on the cdrom and floppy devices and directories. The fstab file doesn't support ,user like it does in most linux installs. I'm lost. Please help me out. Thanks a lot people. freebsd rocks.
