I'm setting up a cdrom server that is running FreeBSD that I'm hoping will replace one with identical hardware running windows... If anyone knows how I could accomplish the following things to make the integration easier please let me know... First off I'd like to have the machine boot directly to a command prompt, or somehow automatically login as say "user", so that the client who is using the server can issue mount and umount instructions without having to login to the machine first.. ( security of the machine not being a concern of course ) Second, what would be the best way to grant this, or say any user on the machine the ability to mount and umount the cdrom drives... sudo has been suggested to me, but I was just wondering if there was any way to just allow the user to use mount and stuff.. giving the use root is acceptable, but not prefered... Lastly, I don't believe this is possible.. but if anyone has any ideas.. please let me know.. The behavior of windows is somewhat prefered ( IE not locking the cdrom drives ).. Is it possible to somehow setup a crontab'd script or something that would mimic that behavior so that I would not have to put a monitor or keyboard on the system, in otherwords the client who wants to change a cd, wouldn't have to issue a umount, followed by a mount command.. I would like it if somehow the client was able to open the drive and change a cd, and say in the span of 10 minutes or so the cd would them be accessible by the network.. If this can be done, please let me know.. thanks.. -Aric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
