All:
I received several replies to my question. I also found a reference in the
archives which I did not discover initially.
Most of the replies indicate using a utility call sudo.
I also received the following suggestion from Lucio Chiappetti of creating
an alias for non-privileged users:
alias cdon
smount -r -t cdfs -o rrip,noversion /dev/rz4c /cdrom
alias cdoff
sumount /cdrom
where smount and sumount are COPIES in /usr/local of the standard mount and
umount command, set-uid to root :
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root system 376832 Sep 10 1996 /usr/local/smount
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root system 253952 Sep 10 1996 /usr/local/sumount
Thanks everyone

Subject: mounting cdrom
All:
My Unix is a bit rusty, so this may be a very simple question but
How do you go about allowing a user to mount a cdrom without having to have
super user privilege?
thanks
