Newly installed Venus (Mandrake 6.0) on a clean partition.
Almost everything seems to be okay so far.

BUT ... I configured /etc/fstab with a line like this:

/dev/scd0   /cd   iso9660  user,noauto,mode=444,ro  0 0

The "mode=444" is because I want to be able to browse the insides of
RPM's
and for some reason the extfs in mc does not like the exec bit (it tries
then
to execute the rpm !!!).

Well the CDROM is mounted okay, and I see the contents, but ALL files in
it
have permission    xx-xxxx--  (674)  when I mount a JOLIET cdrom (I made
it
at work with a Windows software).
So it would seem that mount doesn't honor the mode=444 (at least not
with
Joliet CDROMs).
I also check that if you give the option manually on the mount command,
it's the same, the option is not honored.


Any idea ??
