Use this way:
install super.deb
check /etc/login.defs for
CONSOLE_GROUPS floppy:audio:cdrom:dialout:dip:dosdisks
^^^^^^
Hmm, this only works for console logins. So better add the local users who
should be able to mount the floppy to the folppy group in /etc/group
and check /dev/fd0 for
$ ls -l /dev/fd0
brw-rw---- 1 root floppy 2, 0 Apr 14 1997 /dev/fd0
insert into /etc/super.tab
fon /usr/local/bin/fon :floppy uid=root
foff /usr/local/bin/foff :floppy uid=root
Here are the scripts that allow the actuall mount:
cat /usr/local/bin/fon
#!/bin/sh
prog=`basename $0`
# If script invoked w/o super, then exec super to run this script.
test "X$SUPERCMD" = "X$prog" || exec /usr/bin/super $prog ${1+"$@"}
mount -o rw,nodev,noexec,uid=0,gid=25,umask=007,quiet -t vfat /dev/fd0
/floppy && echo Floppy gemountet unter /mnt/a
cat /usr/local/bin/foff
#!/bin/sh
prog=`basename $0`
# If script invoked w/o super, then exec super to run this script.
test "X$SUPERCMD" = "X$prog" || exec /usr/bin/super $prog ${1+"$@"}
umount /floppy && echo Floppy unmounted
Now, if you also want to mount a xiafs floppy, simply create copies of
these scripts and change the "-t fstype" expression.
Ciao,
Martin
