Take a look at sudoers(5) and visudo(8) I use sudo to mount my mass storage compliant devices with the following command as regular user: for my mp3 player [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 /usr/home/ajm/mnt/mp3player for my camera [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 /usr/home/ajm/mnt/kodak for a memory card reader [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 /usr/home/ajm/mnt/card_reader Just make sure you change the ? to an actual device number. You do need to create the /mnt directories in your own home directory so that you can read and write to those devices as a regular user. Also use sudo to un mount the device: [EMAIL PROTECTED] sudo umount_msdosfs /dev/da?s1 NOTE: I did not change anything in the /etc/devfs.conf or am I using amd(8). -- Alexander FreeBSD 6.0 RELEASE i386 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
