Re: Mount CD/DVD and playback DVD as normal user
Hi Fred, You were right about adding /cdrom to fbtab. I had added /dev/cd0a, so it didn't work. I'm in the operators group, so a combination of the two means I can now mount cd/dvd and watch dvds in Xine. Thanks everyone for you assistance. Regards, Laurence.

This is how I manage to handle mounting CDs: ~~~ $ cat /etc/fstab grep cd /dev/cd0a /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 # read only /dev/cd0c /dvd cd9660 rw,noauto 0 0 # for burning CDs/DVDs $ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | grep NOPASSWD %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: SETENV: ALL ~~~ The inconvenience is that I always have to mount it with sudo prepended. You might as well restrict the allowed actions to just a few commands, e.g. 'mount'. See man sudoers As I do not share the laptop with others I can live with any theoretical issues that might go along with this setting. If s.o. gets physical access to the laptop I am in trouble anyway...

Re: Mount CD/DVD and playback DVD as normal user
There are many reasons for wanting to mount a CD/DVD, perhaps to restore a backup or to access files from someone who only just recently made the transition from floppy. But for the two most common reasons today.. * Music/Audio discs, containing no filesystem and cannot be mounted. cdio(1) in base can be used to playback and rip audio CD's using the raw device node directly, as can many other ports. * DVD Video discs, which do contain a filesystem.. but with encrypted files. There is libdvdread/libdvdcss, also in ports, and runtime dependencies for many media players, and like cdio work by directly manipulating the device. -Bryan.
