I wonder if somebody has adjusted the permissions of the mount point.<br />

Does this happen for more than one machine? More than one user? Are these &quot;managed&quot; computers?

I wonder if somebody has adjusted the permissions of the mount point.

Does this happen for more than one machine? More than one user? Are these "managed" computers?

<div>
I'd say that's part of the problem because I can't tell if manage preferences are what's causing I'm seeing.

Are you in a managed environment ?
</div>


<div>
I am. &nbsp;I set up the managed prefs, bit I'be removed that machine from the group where I've configured managed settings.<br />
it feels like the settings are sticking anyway. &nbsp;is there a way to find out?

When the user inserts a DVD into the drive, it asks for a username and password. If the user (normal non-admin) enters their username and password, it rejects that. If I enter the admin username and password, it works fine and OSX will mount the DVD but later won't work again after it forgets those cached credentials.<br />
<br />
I've tried adjusting the permissions on the &quot;volumes&quot; folder, but I'm a little afraid to do too much on that because the user has mounted network shares too. Wouldn't want the wrong permissions to propagate down. &nbsp;Any ideas?<br />
<br />
The affected version is 10.7.5<br />

Mounting DVD on OSX requires username and password

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple OS

Mac OS X is the desktop operating system from Apple Inc., found on Macintosh computers. OS X consists of a Mach/BSD-based kernel, operating system interfaces primarily based on FreeBSD and additional frameworks (written in C, C++ and Objective-C providing user interface and application-level services.
