Generally the rule setting permissions on fd0 is in 50-udev.rules, which can be edited to taste, or you can copy the appropriate rule to 10-local.rules and make the change there. This does seem odd, unless there's supposed to be some other mechanism in place to change the permissions dynamically when a floppy is inserted. I'm only running udev-115-r1 which doesn't have this problem. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Everything works | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | if you let it" | available at 512-259-1190 | (The Roadie) | http://pubkeys.fmp.com http://www.fmp.com | | -- [email protected] mailing list
