Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG 1) What is the way to give an user unconstraint access to floopy disk by means of mtools(what I as user(it is home/situated my own machine,so I am not not vigilant about users doing nasty thing)got so far was: /dev/rfd0 : Permission denied Cannot initialize 'A' Exactly as it stands here. So as I asume it is about forbidden acces to raw floppy just to start with :) 2) Because I already got one answer from Mr. Georgios Keramidis it what be apropiate to move the discussion little bit. Essentialy , what was suggested is: Mount floppy disk with msdos filesytem on it. a) Rather nice idea,btw.In connection with this : What rights should I give to users for enabling use of mount of floppy disk by them also(Obvious write permissions to /mnt/floppy directory. What else?) b) I guess it could be the place where it is advisible to use amd(automounter) to spare typing of mount command every time and delegating the whole work of recognizing, initalizing to it(it as automounter).Is it to naive or could really be used in practice? If so would you point me to some tutorial where I could get aquinted with operations and care and feeding of automounter?
