Hi,

We are testing the installation program for our software from CDROM media. On RHEL4 it works fine. On RHEL5 beta 2, the installation software fails to execute.

According to /etc/auto.misc the automounter will attempt to mount using the following options:

-fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom

The CDROM properties show the file as not allowing the execution of any program, and the SELinux context is iso9660_t.

/etc/mtab shows the CDROM as mounted with the noexec option.

/dev/hdc /media/CDROM iso9660 ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,uid=500 0 0

Where does the noexec option come from? I thought it might be SELinux, but disabling SELinux, still leaves the CD automounted with the noexec option.

The only other option I see is HAL (/usr/libexec/hal-storage-mount) mounting the device with the noexec option, or have I missed something?

The current automount behaviour is rather strict, but quite possibly valid for a server. Is this intended?

Scott
