Hi there,

I admit I haven't specifically searched for this info,
os you can RTFM me... 

How can I allow mounting of /cdrom/ (or, generally, any
mount point) by non-root users? I need to allow my 
girlfriend to be able to mount removable media, but 
_won't_ give her the root password. I know that limiting
this to root is a security measure, but turns to be quite
the opposite in my particular situation. :) The machine 
is only used by me and her. 

TIA

(BTW, as always, I'm not (only :) looking for a quick 
solution. If you can point me to a man page, I'll be happy.)
