hi all.
how do i set permissions to mount a cdrom and floppy for a user?

By editing your /etc/fstab to include "users" as an option:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 users,defaults 0 0

Cool

/dev/hdc5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0

i set it up like that, still didn't work, i get the following:

bash-2.05b$ mount /dev/fd0
mount: must be superuser to use mount

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users 0 0

Look different.. You see the "users" option I've added in the example, that's the one you are missing

ok, i use the lollowing options and non work:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 users,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto users,noauto,unhide 0 0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 users,defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto users,defaults 0 0

i also change the perimissions on /bin/mount and /sbin/mount to 777 but still not woriking

yeah... AFAIK slackware doesn't use automount by default. You need to manually mount it, or set up autofs.

Ok, let's give something else a try then, we'll remove defaults, and specify something else:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0

And be sure to change the permissions back to 755 on the files you changed them on..

Cool

Try typing "user" instead of "users" in the fstab file.
And do a #chmod go+rx /dev/cdrom.
I did that and it worked....
