Can only access CD-ROM as root
Hey everyone --
So the deal is, I'm running Debian Woody and I can't seem to get my cd-rom permissions right. I have this line in the fstab:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
And I'm a member of the group "cdrom". I can access the drive fine when I'm root, but when I'm not I get mad errors. Any ideas?

If you post the errors, people may be able to help, could be a number of things. I assume you are a member of users group aswell as cdrom?

Methinks user should read users. Least that's what I did with Woody. If that fails chmod /dev/cdrom to 666 or summat like that
