Somsky" Message-Id: <199805222328.QAA00295@annwn.phys.washington.edu> To: freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: How to let users access removable media? Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I've just recently set up a couple of FreeBSD systems here at the UW Physics department, and I need to be able to set them up so that the users can access the floppy and (ATAPI) zip drives. For mtools access, I suppose I can just make /dev/[r]fd0 and /dev/[r]wfd0* be world readable and writable, but is this the best way to go about it? Should something else be used? And I doubt that it's immenent, but what about when someone wants to mount a cd-rom? I'd like to be able to handle this in a relatively secure fashion w/out compromising the systems. Anyone been through this before or/have any suggestions? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe security" in the body of the message
