[Gllug] remote access to CD drive

[TM]

Dear all,

Can anyone tell me why I don't have access to the CD drive of FC4 box 
when I login remotely (I've tried ssh and Exceed) as an ordinary user?

The device shows as not mounted and I get an error message that only 
root is allowed to mount. This is so despite the fact that
a) I don't have any such problems if I login locally
b) I made sure that the device is mounted (by the local login)
    and then login remotely as the same user.

This has all the signs of being a security feature. Can anyone explain 
it to me please? What does the 'pamconsole' option do in the fstab?

Thanks
TM

P.S.

There's a copy of fstab:
