DVD file permissions

[Jon Dixon]

Hi Nick

I have no problems accessing data DVDs, no matter who created them.

The line from my /etc/fstab reads:

/dev/hdc  /media/cdrom0  udf,iso9660  ro,user,noauto  0  0

I am running the hoary release though, but I am sure I never had any
issues when I did run warty on the same box.

Good luck.

Jon
