I'm using FBSD 4.1.1-S and I've tried to do so and never succeeded, even by "opening to the world" all the relevant directories and devices : % /sbin/sysctl vfs.usermount vfs.usermount: 1 % ls -ld /cdrom drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 512 13 mai 1999 /cdrom % ls -l /sbin/mount -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 184128 21 oct 23:57 /sbin/mount (all the /sbin/mount* have the same permissions) % ls -l /dev/acd0c crw-rw-rw- 1 root operator 117, 2 10 mar 2000 /dev/acd0c % grep cdrom /etc/fstab /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 % /sbin/mount /cdrom cd9660: Operation not permitted % mount /cdrom % The last command runs ok as it's a sudo script. I still don't understand why the sysctl method doesn't run... -- Éric Jacoboni, né il y a 1276045603 secondes.
