Re: pmount permissions

when I pmount it as normal user:

$ ls -ald /media/scd0
dr-xr-x---  4 root root 136 2006-01-14 00:57 /media/scd0

So the user cannot access to the contents of the CD.

Just to make sure: Is your normal user a member of the "floppy" group?

Yes it is. That was of the things that suprised me, shouldn't it be "cdrom"?

Maybe you have run into this bug:

Unfortunately there is no solution or patch posted yet.

You might be able to work around it if pmount still lets you set the
permissions even though the directory it creates is owned by root:
$ pmount -d -u 222 /dev/scd0
