Do you have an entry for the cdrom in /etc/fstab? The issue may be an option there and not pmount.
Is it just the cdrom, or have you tried other devices with pmount? (USB stick, external HD, anything) |

Yes, I have an entry for the cdrom in my /etc/fstab, do you think it might be the problem ?
I haven't tried with any USB device yet, but I will and let you know what it says. |

Pleas post the line pertaining to the cdrom from /etc/fstab.
pmount will respect the options there, so it could matter. |

The default option implies nouser.
Try | Code: | | /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,rw,nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |

I just reinstalled after a new MB. I cant get users to be able to mount cdroms either. Only root can mount them. I tried your fstab options with no luck. Here are some of my configs. Thanks for any help.
fstab | Code: | # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# noatime turns off atimes for increased performance (atimes normally aren't
# needed; notail increases performance of ReiserFS (at the expense of storage
# efficiency). It's safe to drop the noatime options if you want and to
# switch between notail / tail freely.
#
# See the manpage fstab(5) for more information.
#
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
#/dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
#/dev/ROOT / ext3 noatime 0 1
#/dev/SWAP none swap sw 0 0
#/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
