. . or at least this is what I suspect being wrong: ========================== IDE DVD-ROM x16 /dev/hdb 660 root.cdrom 666.root.cdrom PHILIPS DVD8421 /dev/hda 660 root.cdrom 666 root.cdrom ==========================
========================== cdrdao 1.2.0 /usr/bin/cdrdao 4711 root.root no change cdrecord 2.1 /usr/bin/cdrecord 0755 root.root no change ========================== This is my fstab: ========================== # DEVICES /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,rw,uid=1001,user 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0 ========================== BTW, when I mount the cdrw I get this message: "mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only". This is the /mnt/cdrw access rights: ========================== drwx------ 2 root root 48 Nov 19 14:33 cdrom1 dr-xr-xr-x 1 suzy root 2048 Jan 2 19:44 cdrw ========================== (suzy is the uid=1001) I would like to have the DVD mountable by other uid's too, but having just "user" in fstab causes problems mounting it as a simple user. Any suggestions? -- Regards, Mick Lycos email has now 300 Megabytes of free storage... Get it now at mail.lycos.co.uk
