I have the latter problem, which is a little annoying at times. Doing a "mount /media/cdrom" as root mounts the CDROM and puts it on the Desktop of the currently logged in Gnome user. I never made the correlation with having an NFS mounted home directory. In our environment, root can not access (read or write) the users' home directories. Alfred
