Ok, this morning I tried mounting a cd on my laptop. It told me only root can do that. So I logged in as root changed the /mnt/cdrom ownership to root.cdrom and also the /dev/hdb and /dev/cdrom. I am a member of disk and cdrom. I gave /mnt/cdrom 775 permissions. I don't think I changed the /dev permissions. I still can only mount as root. Is there something I'm missing? Do I need to change the /dev permissions to 775?
Thanks,
Brian Densmore

You need to tell /etc/fstab that users are allowed to control the device. Change 'owner' to 'user'.
