mounting and using cd-rw media from a non root account
I'm still stuck on the command line for this one. How do I give the user permissions and allow an application such as k3b to access the device? Any and all links to howtos or your own method is welcome. Thank you in advance. _ E-mail for the greater good.

Any and all links to howtos or your own method is welcome. Thank you in advance. I have the following in my /etc/devfs.conf file: own cd0 root:operator perm cd0 0660 This makes the cd device owned by root / operator, and the permissions are set so that everyone in the operators group can read and write the device. If you change it to perm cd0 0666, everyone will be able to read and write (depending on your setup, this may have security implications). Do not forget to perform /etc/rc.d/devfs restart if you change the above file. You will need to load the atapicam module into the kernel if you wish to use utilities like cdrecord and k3b. This will make your atapi CD to be handled as a SCSI device. Use something like: kldload atapicam and add: atapicam_load=YES in your /boot/loader.conf so that it also loads on your next boot. You can also build atapicam into your kernel if you don't want to use the module. The CD will then be handled using a cdX device, i.e. cd0, while the atapicd is usually acd0 Finally, for instructions on setting up k3b, go to /usr/ports/sysutils/k3b directory and type: make showinfo This will tell you most that you need to know on setting up k3b (including some of the info mentioned above). ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Your mileage may vary : ) #How to install and configure K3b on FreeBSD 7.0 #To install the pre-compiled package (usually satisfactory) use the code below pkg_add -r k3b # If the pre-compiled package is ill-suited for your system, you can try compiling from source using the code below. cd /usr/ports/sysutils/k3b make install clean # Next, we edit configuration files in order to establish the proper settings and permissions # Edit /boot/loader.conf to add the following: atapicam_enable=YES hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 # Modify devfs.conf with the following lines: own cdrom root:operator perm cdrom 0666 link cd0 cdwriter own cderiter root:operator perm cdwriter 0666 own pass0 root:operator perm pass0 0666 own xpt0 root:operator perm xpt0 0666 # Edit /etc/rc.conf to add the following: devd_enable=YES #I am told the commands below are necessary on occasion. My system seems to work fine without them, however. chmod 4711 /usr/local/bin/cdrecord chmod 4711 /usr/local/bin/cdrdao ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
