Hi guys and gals. I've been skirting these forums for a while and have obtained many useful tips.

I'm doing my very best to leave M$ behind and embrace Linux, and I'm finding that it's not nearly as difficult as I feared it would be.

I've reached something of a stumbling block with one little script.

In Windows I used an application Called Demon tools to mounts ISO files as drives. In Linux the standard mount command works great. However I'm essentially a very lazy person and so want to make it easier on myself.

I've written a very simple script

The idea being that I can drop the ISO file onto the ICON of the script and have it conveniently mounted in the VCDROM folder.

There’s a problem. Only root can use mount.

I've played with su and sudo but it seems that each need the password entered and so makes my plans useless.

Can anyone offer any advice?
Is there away to allow a normal user to use mount?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Update the sudoers file to not require the password for the mount command.
The manpage tells you how.

man pages weren't actually very helpful. They showed me how to use the command but not how to set it up. I edited the sudoers file and got it working.

Thanks for the tip.

Sorry - try "man sudoers" rather than "man sudo"
