Hi Rick,
that's o.k., but chmod 666 /dev/fd0 should do it.
I thought it would be better to let devfsd do the work. As I wrote,
my ltsp-setup is somehow modified and here we go again with the
configuration-files of devfsd:
File 1

Having configured devfsd like this, a workstation with it's own XF86Config
gets a serial mouse working due to the settings in this file; explicitly
setting the mouse-device in lts.conf is not necessary.
All possible floppy-devices get write-access for a user logged in via
X-Window. So with mtools all actions should be possible.
Hope it works for you.
