pls help me how to set a cdrom to user can able to mount it?

ls -l $(which mount)
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 84880 Aug 18 19:44 /bin/mount

Set the permissions with "chmod 4766 /bin/mount" or whereever which mount said it was.
Or just "chmod 4766 $(which mount)"

[root@localhost root]# ls -l $(which mount)
-rwsrw-rw- 1 root root 95256 Jan 30 2004 /bin/mount*
[root@localhost root]# chmod 4766 /bin/mount
[root@localhost root]#

[staff@localhost staff]$ moun
mount.cifs mount.cifs3
[staff@localhost staff]$ mount.cifs
mount.cifs mount.cifs3
[staff@localhost staff]$ mount.cifs
mount.cifs mount.cifs3
[staff@localhost staff]$ mount.cifs
mount.cifs mount.cifs3
[staff@localhost staff]$ mount.cifs



there ias no mount command for user exists.
i did what u said?
what is that 4766?

should i set 777 or else?


[staff@localhost staff]$ mount /mnt/cdrom
bash: /bin/mount: Permission denied
[staff@localhost staff]$



THAT IS NOT WORKING?

should i reboot my computer after change the permission?

Oops, sorry. Try "chmod 4755 $(which mount)" instead.
No need to reboot.
You should also do a "chgrp cdrom /dev/hdc" or choose some other group to which your user belongs.
Might as well do the same for the mountpoint if needed "chgrp cdrom /mnt/cdrom/"
My permissions on those look like:
ls -ld /dev/hdc /cdrom
drwxrwx--- 2 root cdrom 4096 Sep 5 2004 /cdrom
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 Nov 14 2003 /dev/hdc

Might be dangerous to change permissions on mount altogether. Just edit the line in /etc/fstab for mounting the cdrom to include root. For more info on this, man mount.

Might be dangerous to change permissions on mount altogether. Just edit the line in /etc/fstab that contains the mount command for cdrom to enable any user to mount the cdrom. For more info on this, man mount.
