Make sure the device file has the proper permissions. For > example: chmod 777 /dev/acd0c (this will let everyone mount it) It's probably better to make them mode 550. You don't need execute permission in any case, and restricting it to group permission allows you to control who can - and can't - mount the devices. Also, you have to have own the directory you're going to mount it on, not just have write permission on that directory. > 2.

See the sysctl.conf(5) for details. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
