mount cdrom problem

[Dom Bekarge <dbekarge netzero net>]

mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

In a previous message, I indicated that this command 
succeeded as root, but not when signed in as plain user, 
named 'dbekarge', created via linuxconf utility.

An error message appears that only root can mount the cdrom.

Some correspondents to this email list suggested 
a check of directory and file permissions.

The command

ls -l

of the / and /mnt directories showed that the file 
permissions were

drwxr-xr-x

for both of these directories.

I double-checked my modification of the /etc/fstab file.  
The options for the cdrom line indeed are:  

user,noauto,ro

Despite reading several HOWTO documents, and sections 
of some beginner's books, I still can't figure out how to mount 
the cdrom as a user.
