Dumb question about device priveleges

Started by
2 comments, last by Null and Void 22 years, 10 months ago
How do I give users rights to use (read/mount/unmount) certain devices, like the cdrom? Chmod is about as much as I know about priveleges, can someone help me out a little more? Opening a terminal an using "su" every time gets annoying . I''m sure it''s an easy question, thanks in advance. [Resist Windows XP''s Invasive Production Activation Technology!]

Put something like this in your /etc/fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0

That *should* (assuming I remember correctly) allow any user to mount and unmount the cd drive.

"man sudoers" I think should also help you.
Hello from my world
Sorry I haven''t replied to this for a while: Martee, that was what I was looking for . It doesn''t look like I have any of the su* commands or files, but I did look it up. Adding user to fstab was enough for now though .
