That's it! Thank you.
After the diskette was mounted, I tried:
chmod g+w /fd
and the permissions were:
ll -d /fd
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 3 22:45 /fd
but when I do:
chmod g+w /fd/.
I get the permissions I want:
ll -d /fd
drwxrwxr-x 2 root wheel 512 Feb 3 22:45 /fd
Now I know there's a difference between /fd and /fd/.
Thank you,
Rob.
