[SLE] Mounting floppy as user?
I seem to be missing a switch somewhere. I'm confused. Running SUSE 6.3, pretty default installation, I have the following line in /etc/fstab: /dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 However, when I, as a normal user, run 'mount /floppy', I am told that "mount: must be superuser to use mount". Mounting as superuser works fine. What am I missing? Cheers, Bjørn -- Bjørn Tore Sund Overingeniør, matematisk inst.

I wonder if you have inadequate permissions on the mount command itself.
