Hi,
I am a new user of FreeBSD (and any type of UNIX for that matter)
and have a question about mounting my cdrom. When logged in as root,
I can mount the cdrom drive with the following command.
# mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/wcd0a /cdrom
And this seems to work fine. If I then log off and log in as
another user (which is the first one I've ever made, so I probably
did it wrong) and type the same command, I get an error message,
something along the lines of 'Permission Denied'. Do I have to give
the new user permission to read the drive or something? I have made
the user a member of the wheel group but that didn't help!
Any Ideas?
Thanks, Chris Roberts
