Re: [SLE] mount: only superuser can mount
create groups 'floppy' and 'cdrom' chown /floppy and /cdrom to these groups uid /bin/mount as well Then make your users belong to those groups. SuSE could create automatically groups 'floppy,cdrom,dvd,zip,zipdos' then create directories /zip,/zipdos,/dvd' chown those to those groups. mk

It happens with any user except root of course, is it simple to rectify or do I need to provide more info.
I have modified fstab to users from user no change and given users in group administration permissions for each user in group users.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Purple Shirt,
create groups 'floppy' and 'cdrom'
chown /floppy and /cdrom to these groups
I did this bit and nothing changed!
suid /bin/mount as well
I did this bit and it worked, I even used this without making the groups. Question using suid in this way does this make system unsecure as reading in security matters should not use suid wherever possible.
Then make your users belong to those groups.
Did not have to as I just used suid on mount and umount.
SuSE could create automatically groups 'floppy,cdrom,dvd,zip,zipdos' then create directories /zip,/zipdos,/dvd' chown those to those groups.
Does not compute?

This is done in /etc/permissions* files, best in permissions.local. check the syntax in permissions. something like: /bin/mount root.root 4766 Juergen PS: this is related to the "securety=..." setting in rc.config
