Hi,
My gentoo install isn't letting users access the cd drive. I do have a user in the cdrom group, but he can't access it. He can however access it when using sudo. Sorry if this is a bit vague.

dragos240,
In /etc/fstab you should ahve a line like | Code: | | /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 users,noauto,ro 0 0 |
unless you use an auto mounter, in which case, /dev/cdrom should not be in/etc/fstab at all.
The users in users,noauto,ro allows any user to mount and unmount cdroms.
If it were user (no s) any user can mount cdroms bout only the same user can unmount them.

Oh I see. I will add that and reboot. Many thanks!
Also I when using something like:
I can play cds (in root)
But I can't play cds when doing this:
I also have no /dev/cdrom but rather a /dev/hda
Will that be fixed by editing my fstab? |

dragos240,
No reboot was required. /etc/fstab is consulted for the missing information every time the lazy mount is used.
e.g. mount /dev/cdrom as mount needs to find out where /dev/cdrom should be mounted.
You should not have any /dev/hdX nodes now as udev no longer makes them.
You need to migrate to libata, however, I suspect you may have an out of date system, so go carefully.

Out of date? This system was insalled 3 weeks ago and updated 2 days ago. But thanks for the link. |

| Outdated isn't about WHEN you installed the kernel but rather HOW you CONFIGURED the kernel. |
