I'v checked my kernel config and it had the "Options CD9660".
Beside the mounting problem as I said the user cannot use the linked device (/dev/dvd) to just watch a DVD (not need for mounting, just access to the device).
Can you post the system configuration files that you're using in order
to allow your users to mount CD drives ?
cale:/tmp# sysctl vfs.usermount vfs.usermount: 1
in /etc/devfs.conf: perm xpt0 0660 perm pass0 0660 perm cd0 0660 link cd0 cdrom link acd0 acd0c
cale:/dev# ll cd* crw-rw---- 1 root operator - 4, 27 28 Dez 21:57:24 2003 cd0 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel - 5 28 Dez 21:57:40 2003 cdrom -> cd0
Is your user in the correct group? (operator in my example) Note: I'm using atapicam so you should consider cd0 as acd0

Thanks for posting your configuration.
PS: One thing I've noticed with this specific user, whenever he creates something the file/directory will show owner:username group:username.
I've used the command "groups" as well as chpass I think and they gave me only one group for this username... wheel. Why doesn't wheel appear as the group owner for stuff that username is creating ?
Thank you Dany

Hello,All I do for my user that's a member of wheel under FreeBSD 4.* is:
Because I didn't get any response on BSDforums, I've decided to try my chance here.
I'm trying to get my single user (belonging to the wheel group) mounting a CD drive under 5.x using devfs (5.2RC2). Could somebody post a very simple howto showing the files to modify ? Thanx
So far I've tried the following things without success :
mkdir /home/username/mount/cdrom chown username /home/username/mount/cdrom chmod 755 /home/username/mount/cdrom
added the following to /etc/sysctl.conf vfs.usermount=1
added the following to /dev/devfs.conf link acd0 cdrom perm acd0 0660
added /etc/devfs.rules with [my_ruleset=10] add path 'acd*' mode 660
added the following to /etc/rc.conf devfs_system_ruleset="my_ruleset"
/dev/cdrom now shows up and root can use it to play a DVD for example but user cannot use it either directly (/dev/cdrom) or when trying to mount a CD (mount_cd9660 /dev/cdrom /home/username/mount/cdrom) .. the result is ?Operation not permitted?
Thank you
Dany
chmod u+s /sbin/*mount
Does this not work in FreeBSD 5.*?
Dany, make sure you have CD9660 compiled into the kernel, normal user aren't allowed to load kernel modules. Also securemode should net be set. And the mountpoint should be owned by the user (which is in your case I think since its under $home). I had the same problem and it was simply the missing CD9660 bits in the kernel
