All one has to do is to put `ro,user,nonauto' in as option for the cdrom drive in fstab and any user can mount/unmount the thing. `user,nonauto' will also work with other drive, or course. I use it for floppy and some dos partitions, (sometimes my bro wanna copy stuffs from linux to dos and he has no root acces). ---------- L.D. mike> in mine. the cdmount/cdumount scripts can just have the full mike> mount and umount commands that I would run as root.
