I thought that was the case, but I created a directory in the user's home directory (as that user) and used it as the mount point and it still does not permit it (see example above: ~/ipod is owned by the user). It works with the cdrom device though- i can mount that as a regular operator user. Sounds like the users don't have permissions on /dev/da0s2 but do have permissions on /dev/acd0. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
