looks good. Must have to do with the mount command I guess. What's in your /etc/fstab? Or aren't you refering to mounting, but are you talking of writing to the beast with cdrecord or reading with cdparanoia or likewise programs that don't use /dev/scd* but instead use /dev/sg*? In that case check that the relevant generic scsi device (I think for you /dev/sg0) has th eproper group and protection set. > Try changing /dev/cdrom to be in the cdrom group. > > # chown root.cdrom /dev/cdrom you normally can't change the group of a link, it has no meaning. -- groetjes, carel
