Work as root dissapears in KDE session
 

Fedora Core 3
KDE Desktop

I'm having a wierd problem:
Under a standard user session in KDE, I use the super-user terminal to create
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
to create a link to hdc for my cdrom

However, every time I leave the session and come back, I find that the link is gone!! What's up with this? If anyone has an idea, I would really appreciate it. It seems kind of wierd.

Thanks

ps, here is my fstab file if that has anything to do with it

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

You mention here that you're using an automounter...I suspect that to be the culprit, though I don't know too much about automounters.

i will give that a shot. thanks
