I changed the permissions of the /dev/fd0 device to 775, and made sure that /dev/fd0 belonged to group floppy. I then made all the mtools programs executable by and owned by group floppy. I add any user who needs the floppy drive to group floppy. This is in a lab situation where people have to get past a secure lock anyway, so I wouldn't like to say if this would be a good idea in general. John.
