[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I am trying to run a backup script as an ordinary user which copies files to a 250MB ZIP drive (/dev/afd0s4) but an ordinary user cannot mount the device mount_msdos /dev/afd0s4 /zip mount_msdos: /dev/afd0s4: Operation not permitted Mounting the device as root works just fine. Trying to run the mount command from a suid script (root/wheel) produces the same"operation not permitted error" Also trying to run the eject afd0 command always fails with an unknown error: eject -v afd0 eject: using device /dev/rafd0c eject: ejecting media from afd0 eject: Unknown error: -3 Please reply directly as I'm not subscribed to this list at the moment.
