Description egbert 1999-03-30 18:20:01 UTC 
When a non-root user mounting CDs with fstab entry of

   /dev/cdrom   /mnt/cdrom    iso9660  noauto,user,ro 0 0

and directory list is

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            3 Mar 22 07:31
/dev/cdrom -> hdc

/dev/hdc

I get following non-existant UID 105 after cdrom mount
[root@random /etc]# ls -lat /mnt

the userid of the person who burned the CD was 105.  When you mount
something it changes the uid of the mount point to that of the root of
the partition/disk/cd/whatever that you are mounting.
