Hi all, I am using autofs. My /etc/auto.master is:
/mnt/amnt /etc/auto.amnt --timeout 1
and my /etc/auto.amnt is:
cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro,user :/dev/hdc
floppy -fstype=auto,rw,user :/dev/fd0
If I access /mnt/amnt/floppy for reading, everything is fine. If I try to write
something to the disk as ordinary user, I get:
cp: cannot create regular file `/mnt/amnt/floppy/test': Permission
denied
The problem seems to be: If Joe User accesses /mnt/amnt/floppy, the automount
daemon, _running as root_, calls mount _as root_ so that root is the owner of
/mnt/amnt/floppy and the only one allowed to write there.
How can I let ordinary users access the floppy for writing?
TIA,
Stefan
