It's kind of sloppy but I thought why not help some people out until I get
a chance to make some better code.
Ok, for the CD-ROM, here's some code for you guys:
--- start of cdmount.c --
/*
* suCD 0.1
* --------
* Allows regular (non-root) users to mount the cdrom
* - Omachonu Ogali <oogali@tribune.intranova.net>
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("suCD 0.1\n");
printf("oogali@tribune.intranova.net\n\n");
if (getuid() != 0) {
if (seteuid(0) != 0) {
perror(seteuid());
return -1;
}
}
if (argc < 2) {
system("/sbin/mount /cdrom");
} else {
if (strcmp(argv[1], "mount") == 0) {
system("/sbin/mount /cdrom");
} else if (strcmp(argv[1], "unmount") == 0) {
system("/sbin/mount /cdrom");
} else {
printf("%s [action]\n");
printf("[action] may be either 'mount' or 'unmount'.\n");
return -1;
}
}
return 0;
}
--- End of sucd.c --
Compile: cc -o sucd sucd.c
Install: install -g wheel -m 4755 -o root sucd /usr/local/bin/
Run: 'sucd mount' or 'sucd unmount'
I hope this helps you guys out. =]
