[warning: not sure if this next part is simply due to my inexperience] i found that the user was not able to mount to anything hanging directly off of '/' (ex. /mnt /cdrom /floppy) - even if i messed with the perms. to solve this, i created the desired mount points (simply empty directories) in that user's $HOME (with user ownership, group, and rwx perms). this solved the problem. just make sure that your users only try to mount to ~/mntpoint hth, epi > I've went thru the handbook and also Dru Lagvigne's (is that right?) > articles on OnLamp to no avail. > ___ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You might Since I didn't see it mentioned: user mounting also requires that vfs.usermount is set to 1. Use sysctl or /etc/sysctl.conf to achieve this.

You definitely want to look at sudo.

They should be able to mount in their home directory. You might want to look into "sudo" in the ports. It allows users to run commands as root.
