Hallo, When I used Suse 9.3 mtools for working with floppy disks worked fine under fvwm. Since a new installation of SUSE 10.2 an ordinary test user cannot use mdir under fvwm any more. He gets
$ mdir a: Can't open /dev/fd0: Permission denied Cannot initialize 'A:' In contrast, root has no problems. When the test user works with KDE, then there are no problems with access to floppys for the testuser.But I do not WANT to work with KDE! Since 10.2 I have the following fstab (This is the fstab I got from the installation, I have not changed anything): $ cat /etc/fstab /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0 With 9.3 I had (again, this was set my the installation of 9.3): /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid ,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 These are the groups of the test user: (since 9.3): $ id ... gid=100(users) groups=16(dialout),33(video),100(users) The SUSE Advanced Support recommended to give the testuser an additional group "floppy" - but this did not work. Then the support people recommended to change the entry "user" in the fstab to "users". I did not try this as it obviously cannot work. What should I do? Thank a lot for your help. All the best Petra
