[wplug] Audio CD autorun problem, RH 7.3

[Coutch, Robert]

Did you log out and log back in after making changes?

Red Hat does something when you log in that sets devices permissions to
yourusername.group
on certain devices.

If you log in as joe, then ls -l /dev/cdrom shows:
brw-rw----	1 root	disk			8 Aug 30	2001
/dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc
and ls -l /dev/hdc shows:
brw-rw----	1 joe		disk		22,	0 Aug 30	2001
/dev/hdc

I don't think /dev/hdc is getting the username from /etc/fstab.

I know it's partly related to /etc/security/console.perms and "something
else".

The fstab entries affect then mount point ( e.g /mnt/cdrom), not the
/dev/hdc.

I just don't know what the "something else" is yet.


Comments?

-Bob

Instead of going through the trouble of adjusting ownership/permissions 
on a system-wide scale, why not just create a mount point directory in 
said users home directory and point the mount there?
