Well, on Debian at least /floppy is owned by root, but in group floppy. So I would think adding all users to the floppy group and making sure that the user option was in the /etc/fstab line for /floppy would take care of part of the problem. Yep, I just tried mounting a floppy for the first time in a while. After mounting with my normal user account the contents of the floppy are owned by me with normal group and umask, so the permissions seem fine. -- Jim Crumley |Twin Cities Linux Users Group Mailing List (TCLUG) crumley at fields.space.umn.edu |Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Ruthless Debian Zealot |http://www.mn-linux.org/ Never laugh at live dragons |Dmitry's free,Jon's next? http://faircopyright.org
