Hi there.
After I have upgraded to UVM binaries only root can write
to floppydiscs.
The file attributes for a mounted floppy disk are
root@nethotel:/root => ll /floppy
total 1132
drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7168 Jan 1 1980 ./
drwxr-xr-x 21 root wheel 1024 Nov 6 1997 ../
and the attributes for /dev/fd0a are
brw-rw-rw- 1 root operator 17, 0 Jun 7 20:14 /dev/fd0a
If root tries to change the attributes of /floppy he gets
the following error:
root@nethotel:/root => chmod a+w /floppy
chmod: /floppy: Is a directory
What should be done to make it possible for ordinary users
to write to floppydiscs?
Regards
Ib-Michael
