i am using mandrake 10.0
i have some trouble im reading the cdrom.
root only can view the content of the cdrom

normal user doesnot read the cdrom.

the error was. "the file or folder /mnt/cdrom does not exist"

so i set the permission like that.....

#chmod -R a+rwx /mnt/cdrom

at that time it is okay...
but when i restart the system.

i can not read the cdrom.........again same problem...


so how to set the permission so that all the users can read.

i have mounted all the windows drives under /mnt.

please help me..

What does your fstab entry for /mnt/cdrom look like?

here is my /etc/fstab file..


/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0
/dev/hda7 /mnt/win_d ntfs umask=0,nls=iso8859-1,ro 0 0
/dev/hda8 /mnt/win_e vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
