Device Mount Point FSType Mount Switches ------ ----------- ------ -------------- /dev/fd0 /floppy vfat,auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0 So, "mount /floppy" will mount /dev/fd0 on the directory /floppy, interpreting the filesystem either as vfat or by autodetecting the filesystem type. Non-privileged users can mount it, and it won't be mounted automatically at boot time. Actually, if you have the "auto", I believe the "vfat" is redundant. Anyone you want to be able to mount it should be added to the group "floppy": adduser keeling floppy > But I do not want to do anything dangerous, so I will see if anyone at the > meeting tonight confirms my suspicions. As long as you trust the people who're going to be using this, it's reasonably safe, especially since they're going to have physical access to the machine anyway, which means all bets are off security- wise. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
