Hello, I'm trying to allow a desktop user to mount CDs without root access. (Yes, I know the security risks, but the user is me. I'm not comfortable keeping a root window open just to mount & unmount documentation disks.) The system is 3.3-stable, on a Toshiba 4015CDS laptop. I've set vfs.usermount=1. When I try to mount /cdrom as a regular user, I get: moneysink~;mount /cdrom cd9660: Operation not permitted moneysink~; To try to solve this, I've chowned nobody.nobody, chmod 777 /cdrom. I've made sure that cd9660.ko is proviously loaded. The same operation succeeds as root, so it's not an fstab problem. /var/log/messages has nothing interesting therein. Any suggestions?
