Hi,

I commented out the lines in fstab for both DVD and CD drives.  The only 
change is that I get this:

root@smoker / # ls -al /media/
total 5
drwxr-xr-x  5 root  root     224 2008-07-12 04:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 root  root     560 2008-07-10 12:40 ..
drwxrwxr-x  2 root  users     48 2006-10-25 06:23 floppy
-rw-r--r--  1 root  root       0 2008-07-12 03:43 .hal-mtab
-rw-------  1 root  root       0 2008-07-12 03:54 .hal-mtab-lock
dr-xr-xr-x  1 root  root    2048 2003-11-13 17:10 hdc
d---------  2 ivman plugdev  112 2008-07-12 03:08 hdd
-rw-r--r--  1 root  root       0 2008-07-12 01:48 .keep_sys-apps_hal-0
root@smoker / # 

So I disabled ivman and tried again, no change.  I still can not access 
the DVD as a user.  The CD seems to work the same way as it always has.  
The permissions have changed to root/root tho. 

Any other ideas?

Dale
