Unless you have a very good reason to leave this in place, remove it. HAL
based automounters do not need fstab, but it will override their defaults
if present. A desktop automounter will usually mount the device as the
user running it, that's certainly the case with KDE and should be with
ivman.
The changing permissions on the mount point is because they are now the
permissions of something else. When nothing is mounted there, the
permissions are those of the mount point on the parent filesystem, when
you mount something, they are the permissions of the root of the mounted
device.
Do other devices, such as USB sticks, mount correctly?
Hi,
I commented out the lines in fstab for both DVD and CD drives. The only
change is that I get this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] / # ls -al /media/

So I disabled ivman and tried again, no change. I still can not access
the DVD as a user. The CD seems to work the same way as it always has.
The permissions have changed to root/root tho.
Any other ideas?
Dale
