I'm having trouble accessing things from my users. I can access everything from root just fine. I just can't access my cdrom drive from a user. Even after adding the following to the options in my fstab file

users,umask=000

See 'man fstab', note the info on the 'user' option, add 'user' to the options on the line in your /etc/fstab for mounting you cdrom, floppy, zip or whatever you want to give users access to. Example:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0

Sorry, about that. I must of had a brain fart and not read that part :oops:

Check the permissions on your directory stub, i.e. /mnt/cdrom

if you go ls -l on a folder on the cd once mounted what are the permissions on the files?
