there is no such parameter passable to mount called "users". it needs to be removed. if you can mount it from the command line, you should make the fstab line agree with it, and i see no reason why it wouldn't then work. keep in mind that in your fstab, you are attempting to mount the CDROM onto /cdrom. on the command-line, you mounted it onto ~/cdrom. does localuser have permissions on /cdrom? what are those permissions right now? so, in fstab: /dev/acd0c /home/localuser/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 should work fine. change permissions on /cdrom and i'd assume: /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 should work fine. -Adam >> (07.18.2002 @ 1154 PST): Steve Mazerski said, in 2.1K: << > On Thursday 18 July 2002 20:09, Daniel Bye wrote: > > On Thu, Jul 18, 2002 at 07:15:10AM -0700, Balaji, Pavan wrote: > > > By default, cdrom is /dev/acd0c is only mountable by root in FreeBSD.
