system refuse to mount CDROMs from ordinary users
hello, my system refuses to mount remobable medias as floppies and CDROMs, tells me this: %mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Operation not permitted % info that may help to figure up this scenario is: %uname -a FreeBSD kris 4.7-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 9 15:08:34 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 % i follow instructions that shows in : /usr/share/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#USER-FLOPPYMOUNT (BTW i replace for my this example by my real devs) and user info is: %id marcus uid=1001(marcus) gid=1001(marcus) groups=1001(marcus), 0(wheel), 5(operator) % toto# pw groupshow operator operator:*:5:marcus toto# ls -l /dev/acd0c crw-r- 4 root operator 117, 0 Jan 17 06:08 /dev/acd0c toto# sysctl -a kern.ostype: FreeBSD kern.osrelease: 4.7-RELEASE kern.osrevision: 199506 kern.version: FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE #0: Wed Oct 9 15:08:34 GMT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC kern.maxvnodes: 8179 kern.maxproc: 932 kern.maxfiles: 1864 kern.argmax: 65536 kern.securelevel: -1 kern.hostname: toto kern.hostid: 0 [...] vfs.usermount: 1 [...] any idea? oscar wicks P.D.

That's a feature, not a bug: it means the person mounting the device has control of the permissions on the base of the mounted filesystem. There are a number of common approaches, but the two most common are to either have the users mount the devices within their own filesystems, or use fbtab(5) (or Xsetup, etc., as appropriate) to give the console user the ownership of /cdrom.
