Subject:   Can't mount CD or floppies as non-super user
Message-ID:  <199812101913.OAA19549@laker.net>

I need to be able to mount floppies and CDs from a general user account
(non-root).  I found a mail in the archives stating that mount_msdos
was setuid, because it was likely to be used by non-admins, but my
-stable mount_msdos isn't setuid.  As a test I setuid on it and
mount_cd9660, and mount as well.  The mount points all exist; /A, /B,
/cd0 and I can easily mount them as root. I have entries for them in
/etc/fstab, so I can shorten the command to:
mount /A
or
mount /B
or
mount /cd0

All it says is:
msdos:  /dev/fd0:  Operation not permitted

Any ideas ??
