Quick question, (aren't they all...) Is the mount command a privileged operation? (i.e. must the use be root to execute it?) I have altered the permissions on the device and mount points and put the user in the groups for the device and mount point. However, when I try to mount the CD-ROM as a normal user mount replies: cd9660: /dev/wcd0c: Operation not permitted Something similar happens when attempting to mount the floppy drive. The manual page makes no mention of any special permission necessary to execute the command. Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks for your time. -Rick Siple
