Hi, As it stands hotplugd does not respond to the insertion of CD's (obviously, as the cd device is not attached as such), but I reckon this would very convenient if it did. I have been poking around in the cd driver source code, to try and find a decent place to send the hotplug driver a cd event, but I am no kernel hacker, and I am not even sure that this is the way to go about it.
Can anyone offer any information about how this could be done, or even why it shoud NOT be done if that is what you think and what IS the correct thing to do? On another note, it would also be useful to allow users to mount directories not owned by them. As it stands if you want to allow a user to mount a cdrom drive, they each need thier own mount directory. This is not convenient if many users are going to use a system, would you agree? Sure, you can configure sudo, but you can't get apps like KDE for example, to use it. Can you see the possibility of changing this so that the group may mount the cdrom, or even a 'user' directive in fstab, which I think I saw in some other operating system (:P). Just ideas to make desktop use a little more automated. Thanks -- Best Regards Edd --------------------------------------------------- http://students.dec.bournemouth.ac.uk/ebarrett
