Hello, Because I didn't get any response on BSDforums, I've decided to try my chance here. I'm trying to get my single user (belonging to the wheel group) mounting a CD drive under 5.x using devfs (5.2RC2). Could somebody post a very simple howto showing the files to modify ? Thanx So far I've tried the following things without success : mkdir /home/username/mount/cdrom chown username /home/username/mount/cdrom chmod 755 /home/username/mount/cdrom added the following to /etc/sysctl.conf vfs.usermount=1 added the following to /dev/devfs.conf link acd0 cdrom perm acd0 0660 added /etc/devfs.rules with [my_ruleset=10] add path 'acd*' mode 660 added the following to /etc/rc.conf devfs_system_ruleset="my_ruleset" /dev/cdrom now shows up and root can use it to play a DVD for example but user cannot use it either directly (/dev/cdrom) or when trying to mount a CD (mount_cd9660 /dev/cdrom /home/username/mount/cdrom) .. the result is “Operation not permitted” Thank you Dany
