uses of group disk

I would like to give a select number of 'backup operators' -- those who can mount volumes (smb shares) and those who may write to the tape device. Since the tape device is group owned by disk, I'm assuming the proper way to give these backup operators permissions to write to it is by putting them in group disk. What about smbmounting? Should I added group disk to sudoers and give that group permissions to run smbmount? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
