How can I configure a redhat system to let common user mount the floppy?
If user try to mount, message appears only superuser can use mount.
/etc/fstab
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users,owner,kudzu 0 0
Search in google showed some documents about this problem, but found no solution. Have tried as suggested to replace user with users in the last line. Does not help. In a slackware list it was mentioned that it existed an application for slackware that eliminated this problem, but found no more about it.
The configuration shall be used for public in a library. Necessary for users to use own diskettes, and impossible to give them root access.
How do I go around this problem?
Interesting use. What console messages are seen? Have you tried changing from noauto to auto for the mount options? With the current fstab line for /dev/fd0, can users manually mount the drive?
