I should also have mentioned that I prefer not to mess with user mounting at all, but to use sudo to let a set of users execute the mount command. You can configure it to allow them to only use it for one specific command. And for floppies, I generally prefer mtools anyway, because a corrupt mounted filesystem (and floppies go bad annoyingly often) is so hazardous to the system. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
