hi, does anybody know how to disable dvd/cd write access in centos 5.3?
thanks
See 'pinfo mount', 'pinfo fstab' for options available. You might be able to make the CD/DVD drive ro, with something like this in your /etc fstab file:
# DVD-RW drive VOM-12E48X - Fedora 12 example /dev/sr0 /media/dvdrecorder iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
From the mount(8) man page:
The non-superuser mounts. Normally, only the superuser can mount filesystems. However, when fstab contains the user option on a line, anybody can mount the corresponding system.
Thus, given a line
/dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide
any user can mount the iso9660 filesystem found on his CDROM using the command
mount /dev/cdrom
or
mount /cd
