I've started playing around with devfs with the latest 2.4test kernels
with Redhat 7 and can not find a way to let normal users eject cdroms.

When a user types eject /mnt/cdrom they get an error saying-

unable to open '/dev/ide/host1/bus1/target0/lun0/cd'

I am running devfsd with the default devfsd.conf file that shipped with
it.

What can I do to let normal users mount eject and have it saved across
reboots?

My fstab looks like

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0       /mnt/cdrom              iso9660
noauto,ro,user   0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1       /mnt/cdrom1             iso9660
noauto,ro,user   0 0
