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?
