[LI] CDROM automount

["Rajeev B.S.Rao" <rajeevr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello, 
   I noticed something strange, or may be its a funtion. Heres the
situation.
I have X loaded, gnome etc. 
I switch over to another virtual terminal (crtl+alt+F2) and login
i then place a CD in to the cdrom drive. It mounts itself.
after using it in the plain vanilla terminal, if I try to unmount it, it
reports "device busy". When I switch over to x (crtl+F7) a window of CDrom
drive has been opened. I know this is something like a win95 funtion, but
doesn't this constitute to a security hole, if one terminal interferes
with another, when a cd is mounted. I know it's on the same machine, but
yet it sounds dicey to me. I guess there is a way of disabling this, and
I'm trying to figure it out. But please comment on this.
