help mounting a cdrom
I'm running redhat 8.0 - when I login as a user other than root and try to mount the cdrom via the kde desktop icon I get
"mount: only root can mount /dev/scd0 on /mnt/cdrom"
How can I fix this so anyone can mount it ?

Put "user" in the 4th column in /etc/fstab next to the cdrom device.

For instance:
Code:
phyx@phrankenstein:~$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/hd ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
Hope this helps.

Hi kkempter,
I think you just check file permission,
here is,
cd /mnt/
ls -l
and check it,it should be some think like,
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root Date(what ever) cdrom
and see wether root had change that file permission.
