Sean,
I tried changing my /dev/hdc file around to match yours (both from a
permissions and group perspective) and I can still mount, access and umount the
cdrom okay. I'm assuming that you are running Caldera OpenLinux 2.2. Is this
true? If so, I don't understand why your /dev/hdc file has a group id of disk
while mine has a group id of operator. However, from everything I've seen so
far, I don't see any reason why it isn't working as is. Just to make sure I
understand what you're doing, are you mounting the cdrom with the following
command?
$mount /mnt/cdrom
Does the /dev/hdc entry in /etc/fstab look something like this?
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
Until next time... Ben
