The ``user'' option is fstab indicates that any user should be able to mount the filesystem, but that only that user should be able to unmount it. (So if sos22 mounts it, spqr2 can't unmount it). If you want the more obvious behaviour, use option ``users'' rather than option ``user''. The obvious thing to check is that the mounting user is being recorded correctly in the mtab. There should be something along the lines of ``user=sos22'' (or whatever your username is) in the /etc/mtab line for /dev/cdrom. If not, or if it specifies a different username, you'll be allowed to mount, but not unmount. In particular, making /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts will break umounts from ordinary user accounts, but appart from that won't be terribly visible. If you have such a symlink, you should probably ``rm /etc/mtab; cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab'' and then reboot. Steven Smith, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
