Removable media security in FreeBSD

[Fernando Schapachnik]

This is how I do it:

mkdir ~user/cdrom
chmod g+w /dev/acd0c
sysctl vfs.usermount=1
pw user mod operador -m user

/etc/fstab:

/dev/acd0c              /home/user/cdrom ...

On the KDE Desktop, create a CD-ROM entry:

[Desktop Action Eject]
Exec=kdeeject %v
Name=Eject

[Desktop Entry]
Actions=Eject
Dev=/dev/acd0c
Encoding=UTF-8
FSType=Default
Icon=cdrom_mount
MountPoint=/home/user/cdrom
ReadOnly=true
Type=FSDevice
UnmountIcon=cdrom_unmount

You can do the same for floppies. Also, the KDE entry can be created via the
"New" menu, on the Desktop.

Good luck.

Fernando.
