    Hello,

    Because I didn't get any response on BSDforums, I've decided to try my
    chance here.

    I'm trying to get my single user (belonging to the wheel group) mounting
    a CD drive under 5.x using devfs (5.2RC2).
    Could somebody post a very simple howto showing the files to modify ? Thanx

    So far I've tried the following things without success :

    mkdir /home/username/mount/cdrom
    chown username /home/username/mount/cdrom
    chmod 755 /home/username/mount/cdrom

    added the following to /etc/sysctl.conf
    vfs.usermount=1

    added the following to /dev/devfs.conf
    link acd0 cdrom
    perm acd0 0660

    added /etc/devfs.rules with
    [my_ruleset=10]
    add path 'acd*' mode 660

    added the following to /etc/rc.conf
    devfs_system_ruleset="my_ruleset"

    /dev/cdrom now shows up and root can use it to play a DVD for example
    but user cannot use it either directly (/dev/cdrom) or when trying to
    mount a CD (mount_cd9660 /dev/cdrom /home/username/mount/cdrom) .. the
    result is “Operation not permitted”

    Thank you
    Dany
