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.
