Hi geoff,
when I setuyp my system, I make sure that all users can access the
cdrom and floppy by putting a line in my /etc/fstab that looks
something like this.
/dev/cdrom      /cdrom          iso9660 ro,user,noauto          0      
 0
given that I'm the only one that accesses the cdrom I want it that
way. even if it's a hole in the system.
