FAQ 9.22 in <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html>; ("How do I let ordinary users mount floppies, CDROMs and other removable media?") is not up to date with FreeBSD 5.x. In the answer it is mentioned that one has to update /etc/sysctl.conf make the update survive reboot, but the same is true for the change of owner and permission of the device entry. It says 3. Finally, add the line vfs.usermount=1 to the file /etc/sysctl.conf so that it is reset at system boot time. I suggest the following update: 3. Finally, update /etc/sysctl.conf and /etc/devfs.conf so that it is reset at system boot time: a. Add the line "vfs.usermount=1" to /etc/sysctl.conf. b. Depending on chosen solution above add the following line to /etc/devfs.conf: perm fd0 0666 or the follwing two lines: own fd0 root:operator perm fd0 0660 Yours Mats ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mats Dufberg mats@dufberg.se Blaoarvsgraend 42 +46-8-38 48 59 SE-162 45 Vaellingby, Sweden +46-70-258 2588
