Chapter 12.5 should be updated

Hi,

2.5. Allowing normal users to access CDs


The command

mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0a `pwd`/cdrom

does not work, instead 

mount -t cd9660 -o nodev,nosuid /dev/cd0a `pwd`/cdrom

should be used.


Tested on NetBSD 4.99.29


Regards,

Thank you for reporting this! But it still works on NetBSD
3.1 and
NetBSD 4.0_BETA1
What are the reasons that it doesn't work on -current any
more?

The guide doesn't support NetBSD-current.


kind regards, Mark Weinem

I suspect it has something to do with kauth ....

For 4.0 and -current it only works for root. As a normal
user, you need the
nodev,nosuid options - see mount(8):

     In NetBSD, a file system can only be mounted by an
ordinary user who owns
     the point node and has access to the special device (at
least read per-
     missions).  Also, the vfs.generic.usermount sysctl(3)
must be set to 1 to
     permit file system mounting by ordinary users, see
sysctl(8).  Finally,
     the flags nosuid and nodev must be given for
non-superuser mounts.

Should be fixed now.

Thank you & kind regards,
