Changing DVD-ROM/CD-RW permissions


Greetings,

I'm a recent convert to Slack 10.1 from Redhat 9. Does anyone know how to change permissions on my DVD-ROM and CD-RW. When I try to mount in KDE under my regular user name it says:

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: only root can mount /dev/cdrom on /mnt/cdrom

My CD-RW is not setup yet I don't think, I will show my /etc/fstab for reference. Thank you in advance if anyone can help.

/dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/hda3 /boot reiserfs defaults 1 2
/dev/hda6 /tmp reiserfs defaults 1 2
/dev/hda7 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2
/dev/hda2 /fat-d vfat defaults 1 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0


Thank you,

Jason

change the cdrom line to user vs owner, ie:
Code:
/dev/cdrom    /mnt/cdrom    iso9660    noauto,user,ro    0 0
