permission on automounted device?

How do I set permissions on my automounted drives?

I want my automounted cdrom accessible to all users but only root can access it. When I try to chmod 777 the drive it still says permission denied even if I'm root. I guess my question is, can I set the permission in the automount settings? just like in fstab...

Here are my configurations

/etc/auto.master

Code:

/amnt /etc/auto.pablo

/etc/auto.pablo

Code:

cdrw            -fstype=iso9660,ro              :/dev/scd0

 floppy          -fstype=auto                      :/dev/fd0

Ron            -fstype=ntfs                        :/dev/hdb5

When I try to ls /amnt/cdrw as a normal user, it says permission denied.. How can I make my automounted drives available to normal user?

First, did you try to change the permissions on the directory in which the cdrom is mounted and not the device itself?? Also, you may want to look at the man page for auto.pablo.

I fixed it now.... Somehow chmod didn't change the permission of the directories when it is mounted. I just added the umask in auto.pablo and it's ok now.

Good stuff, I'm happy that everything worked out for ya;)
