Fstab: Allowing users to mount DVD-Rom - how?

Hello ... a silly question i know ...
i had following in my fstab (generated by Archinux install)
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
But i cannot mount the dvd as user i get following error message:
mount: only root can mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 on /mnt/dvd
I thought the options "user" allows all users to mount it?
CU ActionNews

when i try this as user i get following:
mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0: Input/output error
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified
EDIT: oh sorry audio-cds cannot be mounted . with a dvd-rom it works .
Thanks.

How to allow users to mount a Samba shares on a WXP

Through lots of reading I've managed to get an understanding of how to mount SMB shares at bootup by placing the proper edits in /etc/fstab. While having the shares of the server, running Contribs.org SME Server 6.01 (recently known as Mitel SME Server) and acting as a samba server, being mounted at startup is perfect since the server is always on. This is not the best idea for the XP workstation since it isn't always on. Here is a copy of my present fstab file with x's replacing the passwords.
fstab [B---] 0 L:[ 1+19 20/ 21] *(1085/1086b)= . 10 0x0A
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0
//192.168.2.2/stuff /mnt/silicon2 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,user
//192.168.2.105/e-smith /mnt/silicon1 smbfs username=kingnubian,password=xxxxxxx,users,noauto
/dev/discs/disc0/part5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 / xfs defaults 0 1
I would like users with an account on the Linux box to mount the remote share on the XP box without needing to SU and consequently need the root password. When trying now to mount "e-smith" (The share on the XP box) as a user using "mount /mnt/silicon1" I get a message about needing to be SU.

To allow users to mount smb shares you need to make smbmnt suid:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbmnt
Note however that the user needs to own the directory used as mountpoint. So I don't know how to make 'mount /mnt/silicon1' in your setup work for all users.
For the users to be able to unmount the smb shares as well you need:
# chmod +s /usr/bin/smbumount
Now users can do 'smbmount //server/share mountpoint -o username=whatever' or simply 'mount mountpoint' if the details are specified in fstab. To unmount root can do 'umount mountpoint' or users can do 'smbumount mountpoint'.
Don't confuse smbmount with smbmnt - the first is the command you use to mount shares manually, the second is the one that should be suid and is used both by smbmount and by mount -t smb.
Hope this helps.

If there is no accounting document; SAP should not allow users to print

Dear Gurus,
Is there a standard way that,
--if there is no accounting document; SAP should not allow users to print invoice?
How can I do it?
Regards,

You can either use Tcode NACE for output procedure pr follow following path in SPRO:
IMG - SD - Basic Functions - Output control - Output Determination - Maintain Output Determination for Billing Documents - Maintain Output Determination Procedure
There for your output procedure used for the desired output type maintain requirement routine as 62 : Billing doc released to acctng.
This requirement is met if the billing document is complete checking the header, pricing, and all items and has already been passed to financial accounting. The requirement also checks that the document is not relevant for an invoice list. This requirement can be assigned to billing document output condition types that should only be processed when the billing document is complete and forwarded to accounting. This requirement can only be used with billing documents.

PDF on DVD ROM

Hello All,
I am making a sales presentation DVD. I have three links, two are Quicktime movies that I have converted from Keynote, and I would like the third one to be a list of PDF files. When they click the link, I would like the file to open up in either Preview or Acrobat, depending on whether it's a Mac or PC? Can this be done using iDVD6?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Doubt it...I certainly haven't heard of anyone using a hyperlink in the VIDEO_TS folder to the DVD-ROM content
I did put a text label directing users to the DVD-ROM portion though.
Now you could make a DATA DVD that has a QT "menu" movie that could have embedded hyperlinks to your other movies and the PDF file.....but that wouldn't play in a DVD player.

Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

Greetings, all.
Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine. I've tried the following variations but, all have failed to produce successful results:
# mount -F nfs x.x.x.x:/f /mnt
nfs mount: x.x.x.x: : RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retrying: /mnt
# mount -F hsfs x.x.x.x:/f /mnt
mount: No such device
mount: cannot mount x.x.x.x:/f
# mount -F hsfs x.x.x.x:/F /mnt
mount: No such device
mount: cannot mount x.x.x.x:/F
[FYI: S10_106_SOFTWARE is the DVD's label as reported by Windows Explorer.]

I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
There are two ways to do this:
Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

How to allow user upload file on applet??

Sorry I'm new to programming here, but I'm trying to allow user to upload a file to the server so the program inside the server can user the file as input.
I've noticed that JFileChooser, the ideal class for this, is not allowed on the applet, so I don't know how to go about doing this.
Thanks for any input!

ok
you wish to transfer a file from applet to server.
1. Applet gets the file
the applet needs to access the file System therefor it must b a signed applet to get aound the security restrictions. This is why the JFileChooser doesn't work. Check out the tutorials on jars and applets, particularly the security notes.
2. opens a connection with the server
so the applet has a file and needs to send it. there needs to be a service of some form on the destination computer to execpt the file. Perhaps you write your own perhaps you use HTTP.
3. server software stores the file
where an applet is an mini application that runs within the confines of the web browser. a SERVLET is a service program which runs with in the confines of a server, such as a web server.
this is a lot easier to do HTML rather that applet in my opinion but which ever.

How to allow user print their draft anwsers before sending it as final ?

How to allow user print their draft anwsers before sending it as final in a form central questionnaire ?

Hey MTdev,
Panel close? events cannot be triggered on a VI being viewed or controlled remotely. Some more information on that can be found in the help here:http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361E-01/lvprop/vi_panel_closeq/. My suggestion would be to set the Title Bar on the front panel of your remote VI to not be visible so that their only option for closing the window is to click the logout button. Are you using Remote Front Panels(http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3277) to do this instrument control? Using remote front panels allows you to manage a lot of the multiple people accesssing at the same-time type issues so it may be something to look into if you are not already using this method.

How to disable copy and paste in a field and allowing user to key in the data in that field...

Hi all,
I need your help on the below scenario.
I have to stop user to copy and paste the data into the field. But allowing user to enter the data in that field.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Thiru.

Hi thiru
It sounds like you want a to write a PJC component to extend a forms text item that will capture and eliminate the key strokes and mouse actions used to copy and past thus preventing a user from performing this action. There are many examples on the interent of how this can be written e.g. the Oracle Forms PJCs/Java Beans web site. You will need to have jdeveloper to write thise bit of code. Oracle forms also has a tutorial on how to plug the JAR file you generate into your for sessions.

How to get Flash exe to play before video on DVD-Rom

I have created a DVD, in Encore, with links to PDFs. Of course, when they click on the link to the PDF, it tells them to play the disc in their DVD-ROM player. For the computer side of the disc, I have created a Flash file that looks exactly like the DVD menus, except it will open the PDFs. When I put the DVD into a computer, it always opens the DVD video first. I would like it to open the Flash exe, first. Opening the DVD video will probably confuse the user since it will tell them to play the DVD in a computer DVD-ROM player, which they already are playing it from the PC. I have an Autostart file. Is there something else that I need to do, to get the Flash to play first, or is this a setting on the computer? Thanks for any help you provide.
