So, anybody knows how-to make my DVD-RW accessible from user again, without reinstalling openSUSE (like in Windows) ?
Not enough clues, sorry. Try a new user, different name, without deleting the other one. Maybe new user doesn't belong to the necesary groups. Read the logs.
BTW: Automount doesn't works too.... Now I have to enter root account and manually do: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Add user to the options in the fstab line.
I can think of two reasons. One, is the assumption that Mr Root is the only one with knowledge to use Certain Things. Also, he is the one responsible for the machine to the external world, and tools like traceroute could perhaps cause damage to others. Perhaps its designer thinks that if you know how to add the path, then are a responsible enough user ;-)
Some tools, like ping, permit root do things that they don't allow normal users.
Very funny, but I disagree with this stance, and will fill a bug.
Ask first in the security list. It has been that way for generations... your "bug" will not be considered a bug by "the stablishment" :-p - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
