>>Why can't i mount cd or harddisk with user account? always prompt with some error msg that said only root that can do it. what should i do? > su(1) to root, mount the device, and then exit back to being a normal > user. it's not a good idea to add any user who wants to mount cds or floppies to the 'wheel' group. i, as a sysadmin, never allow that. i guess sudo can be a decision. a sysadmin can allow any user to run mount & umount on some devices (say, write a script which can mount ejectable media only & allow to run it to ordinary users) in sudoers file.
