The whole idea behind the ltsp_rmedia package is that you don't have to manually mount anything. The package does provide you with components that would allow manual mounting by an unprivileged user, but I have deliberately removed the setuid bit on /opt/ltsp/i386/bin/mount to prevent this. Also, in.ftpd gets very upset if /opt/ltsp/i386/etc/fstab exists and does not contain certain entries, which is why the package install script renames the default zero-length fstab file, so editing it is not a good idea. Your lts.conf entries above look OK (apart from the misspelling of RMEDIA_DEV01_NAME). Using these, you should be able to automagically access your floppy drive in /var/ftp/rmedia/floppy/ and your CDROM in /var/ftp/rmedia/cdrom/. The only catch is that these directories won't exist until you try to access them, so if you do an "ls /var/ftp/rmedia" you will just get an empty listing. However, if you do an "ls /var/ftp/rmedia/cdrom" or "cd /var/ftp/rmedia/cdrom; ls" it ought to work fine, and the directory will then remain mounted for the next five minutes even if you don't use it. -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Thawte.com Understand how to protect your customers personal information by implementing SSL on your Apache Web Server.
