Hello All, I have poured over my fstab file in the /etc directory and have noticed something as follows:
in the /etc directory and fstab file when I did an ls -l and got a line: /dev/fd0 /floppy vfat,auto defaults, user, noauto 0 0 I noticed that after vfat , auto defaults applies presumably as root, but that as user the noauto option applies. If I wanted every user to have automounting of the floppy drive, would I change the line in fstab to the following?: /dev/fd0/floppy vfat,auto defaults, user, auto defaults 0 0 ?? If that were so, then I could give every user the ability to automount the floppy drive. I will be at the Calgary Linux Users' Group meeting tonight and you could tell me whether it would be safe to do the above change. From my reading of chapters one to six of "Running Linux" it seems that the above change will accomplish my goal of giving every user the option of automounting the floppy whenever a user puts a floppy in the floppy drive as a user. But I do not want to do anything dangerous, so I will see if anyone at the meeting tonight confirms my suspicions.
