Ok I feel like an idiot, I must be just not getting something here or overlooking something real obvious. I've googled for how to have a user mount a floppy. I found about 5 pages that told me the same thing...enable permissions on /mnt/floppy and edit /etc/fstab, so that's what I did... Here's the perms: drwxr-xr-x 6 me users 4096 Jun 3 13:47 mnt drwxrwxrwx 2 me users 4096 May 31 20:41 floppy Here's the line in /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user,rw 0 0 I'm still getting: [me@ me]$ mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy mount: only root can do that What am I missing?
