I tried your solution but it did not work. I don't know why. I checked the SuSE online database and they had the same solution as you did. Could the problem be the fact that I am using secure file permissions (YaST setting)?
Yes, that's the problem. In order to let non-root users mount drives the mount binary has to be suid root, but setting permissions to secure removes the suid bit from /bin/mount. You can easily fix it like this: chown root.root /bin/mount /bin/umount chmod 4755 /bin/mount /bin/umount To prevent SuSEconfig from removing the suid bit again, add /bin/mount root.root 4755 /bin/umount root.root 4755 to /etc/permissions.local. Ciao, Stefan In your first mail you mentioned that you added yourself to the disk group. Don't do that as accidently redirecting some program output to your harddisk device will have disastrous results if you're in that group. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
