Hello, I am trying to allow not root users to access CD-ROM and Floppy
drives.
The relevant sections of my fstab are shown below:
/dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0a /floppy msdos rw,noauto 0 0
the relevant folders and devices are shown below:
brw-rw-rw- 1 root operator 6, 0 Sep 3 21:04 /dev/cd0a
brw-rw-rw- 1 root operator 2, 0 Sep 3 21:04 /dev/fd0a
drwxr-xr-x 2 James users 512 Sep 3 21:18 cdrom
drwxr-xr-x 2 James users 512 Sep 3 21:17 floppy
"mount /floppy" and "mount /cdrom" works fine as root, but not when I'm
logged in as "James". could someone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Thanks
James
