Hello, I'm trying to configure my laptop so that a normal user may mount a CD/DVD or playback a DVD in Xine.
So far I've just put an entry in /etc/fbtab. /cdrom permissions look OK, but the devices themselves less so. What are the consequences of putting myself in the operator group? Where can I find a description of those groups? Advice greatly appreciated. Cheers, Laurence. drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Nov 8 14:29 cdrom brw-r----- 1 root operator 6, 0 Nov 8 14:13 /dev/cd0a brw-r----- 1 root operator 6, 2 Nov 8 14:13 /dev/cd0c brw-r----- 1 root operator 6, 16 Nov 8 14:13 /dev/cd1a brw-r----- 1 root operator 6, 18 Nov 8 14:13 /dev/cd1c crw-r----- 1 root operator 15, 0 Nov 8 14:13 /dev/rcd0a crw-r----- 1 root operator 15, 2 Nov 8 14:13 /dev/rcd0c crw-r----- 1 root operator 15, 16 Nov 8 14:13 /dev/rcd1a crw-r----- 1 root operator 15, 18 Nov 8 14:13 /dev/rcd1c # $OpenBSD: fbtab.head,v 1.2 1999/05/05 06:56:34 deraadt Exp $ # login(1) reads this file to determine which devices should be chown'd to # the new user.
