So far I have tried all combinations of the following: ;) - su - create file /etc/rc.sysctl with "sysctl -w vfs.usermount=1" in it - create file /etc/rc.local with --//-- in it. - chmod 777 /cdrom (drastic times call for drastic measures) - --//-- /dev/acd0c The fact is, sysctl vfs.usermount DOES report 1, yet when trying to mount from a wheel user I still get opration not permitted... Is there a specific xxx.usermount for iso9660? Should I try something more specific than just mount /cdrom when mounting? running 3.4-release compaq deskpro 2000 64M ram Thank you.
