Hi,

I want to write a script for transparent floppy using ndb. The script should 
provide transparent access to floppy. the general idea is

use rsh to start nbd-server (any user can do that)
start nbd-client (nbd-client does need to be suid)
mount /dev/wsfloppy /tmp/wsfloppy
start a file manager ( kfmclient openURL /tmp/wsfloppy, for example)
wait until filemanager dies
umount /dev/wsfloppy
use rsh to stop nbd-server (it automatically will also stop nbd-client)

what is the point?  
everything works well, except that the script is not allowed to mount 
/dev/wsfloppy (it is correctly created under /dev and configured in fstab, 
users being able to mount)

Does anyone know how to solve?

bellow is the raw script (it works if you just type in the commands)



#!/bin/sh
rsh 192.168.84.100 "nbd-server 1025 /dev/fd0" &
sleep 20 
nbd-client 192.168.84.100 1025 /dev/wsfloppy
mount /dev/wsfloppy /tmp/wsfloppy
ls /tmp/wsfloppy # for test :)
umount /ltsp/goedel
rsh 192.168.84.100 "killall nbd-server"


thanks,

Cicero
