Try this. 1) as root: add the following line to the end of your /etc/sysctl.conf file vfs.usermount=1 2) as root: Invite your user to the "operator" group 3) as root: chmod 660 /dev/acd0 4) as root: add this lines to the end of your /etc/devfs.conf file own /dev/acd0 root:operator perm /dev/acd0 0660 5) as root: edit your /etc/fstab to add a line like this: /dev/acd0 /home/youruser/media cd9660 rw,noauto 0 0 6) as root: issue the following command: /etc/rc.d/devfs restart 7) as user: create a "media" folder inside your "home folder" (the thing is that users can only mount on folders they own ...) When done .. give it a shot: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% pwd /usr/home/gonzalo [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% ls media/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 media/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% ls media/ 4.3/ TRANS.TBL etc/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% cd media/4.3/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/media/4.3]% ls TRANS.TBL i386/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/media/4.3]% cd i386/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/media/4.3/i386]% ls INSTALL.i386 boot.catalog* bsd.rd* comp43.tgz man43.tgz xetc43.tgz xshare43.tgz TRANS.TBL bsd* cdboot* etc43.tgz misc43.tgz xfont43.tgz base43.tgz bsd.mp* cdbr* game43.tgz xbase43.tgz xserv43.tgz [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/media/4.3/i386]% cd ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% umount media/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% ls media/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]% If it worked, feel free to create a "Create New/Link to Device/CD-ROM Device" in your KDE desktop ... just make sure that in the "Device" tab entry, the path points to /dev/acd0 (/home/youruser/media), and that the rw or ro values are correlative to those in your /etc/fstab entry. Hope it works your you. That's the way it works for me :) -- Blessings Gonzalo Nemmi _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
