Don't use the automounter. Instead write a small shell (or perl) skript that mounts and unmounts the cds (and kills everything that would prevent you from unmounting). When it works, make it suid root. Christopher -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
