[Q]How can mount cdroms with user privileges

Hello Everyone

I am having a problem in getting a script to work which will allow users
on our Alpha system to mount there own CDROM's.

As the 'mount' command is a root only command, I wanted users to be able
to run this script, but allow the script to mount the cdrom on a mount point
with superuser privileges.

I tried to set the sticky bit on the file with a 'chmod g+s', however I still
tells me that I am not the owner of the mount point "/cdrom" ?

If anyone has any advice or help it is much appreciated.

Thanks
