As posted in the prior mail:

  localuser@localhost > ls -ld /cdrom
  drwxrwxr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Jul 14 18:10 /cdrom
  localuser@localhost > ls -l /dev/acd0c
  crw-rw----  4 root  operator  117,   0 Jul 14 18:15 /dev/acd0c
  localuser@localhost > groups
  localuser wheel operator

setting /etc/fstab with

  /dev/acd0c=09/cdrom=09cd9660=09ro,noauto 0 0

produces:

localuser@localhost > mount /cdrom
cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Operation not permitted

Am I missing something, or is something missing me? ;-)
