Hi all!
I have just compiled a kernel for parport ZIP drive support, and now I
would want to get an automatic way to mount and umount the drive. I have
created the next script (/usr/local/bin/mtzip):
/sbin/modprobe ppa.o
/bin/mount /mnt/zip
and added the next line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip msdos rw,user,noauto,umask=007,gid=25 0 2
It works fine when I run it (I named it mtzip) as root, but when I run
it as user "conrado" (my Clark Kent personality) it fails:
/lib/modules/2.2.1/scsi/ppa.o: create_module: Operation not permitted
parport: Operation not permitted
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/sda4 as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
I tried to change the access permissions of the file in order "modprobe"
to inherit root execution permission, but it seems I don't know how to
do it. Now it looks like
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root users 45 mar 9 20:07 mtzip
(I cannot put an "s" instead the last "x") but the error messages don't
vanish.
