CDROM ACCESS FROM A REDHAT USER ACCOUNT

Hi,

Can someone please remind me how to enable cdrom access from a standard user
account on redhat?

Thanks

Kind regards

Mo.

Hi, the way I do it is I use sudo to mount and unmount drives. You'll need
to edit the sudo configuration file to allow your user account user access
to root commands.
Another fix is to use su to briefly access root stuff, and then type exit to
get out of su.

Try adding a line similar to the following to your /etc/fstab.  According
to the manpage, this should work.

/dev/cdrom  /cd  iso9660  ro,user,noauto,unhide

Note that something like this should work for floppy drives as
well.  The key is the user option.  Also, instead of user, you can
use the users option to allow all users to umount the drive, rather
than only the user who mounted it.
