What were you trying to do?
mount /dev/cdrom onto /mnt/cdrom
What's wrong:
I cannot do this as a normal user, and have to su to root to do any mounting
There is also no cdrom entry in /etc/fstab and /etc/fstab is not readable except as root.
What should have happened:
I strongly feel that normal users should be able to mount cdroms without having to su to root. This can be fixed by an appropriate entry in fstab I guess.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
