Hello all,

I am trying to allow everyone on my system to be able to mount and 
umount the cdrom with sudo.  The only user on the system besides root is 
fred.

from sudoers,

Host_Alias     CDROM = bsd
ALL            CDROM = NOPASSWD: /sbin/umount /CDROM,\
                /sbin/mount -o nosuid\,nodev /dev/cd0a /CDROM

This is what I have changed from the sudoers file.

$ sudo mount /cdrom
Password: *********

This is what I do and what I get is: 
Sorry user fred is not allowed to execute 'sbin/mount' as root on bsd

What am I missing?

Thanks
