HELP!  I am having a problem trying to allow a user to save to the floppy drive in 
Gnome.  I was already logged into the 
machine (RH9), and the other user couldn't mount the drive, as I owned the device. So 
I edited /etc/fstab and changed 
the "owner" option on the floppy to "user" and the other user was then allowed to 
mount the drive.  However, once the 
drive was mounted by the other user, files could not be saved to it.  Checking the 
directory listing showed that the 
floppy mount point was owned by the user who mounted it and that the user had write 
permission as well as access 
permission for the mount point.  It also showed write permission for all files that 
were already on the floppy disk.  
However we got an error message stating that the floppy mount point was write 
protected whenever the user who mounted it 
tried to save a file on it.  This problem occurred both in AbiWord and one other prog, 
but I don't remember which one 
was used.  Also, it seems that AbiWord also refused to save the file to the user's 
home directory, but the other program 
did allow us to save the file in the home dir.  Can someone tell me where the problem 
may be and how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Lorenzo Prince
happy Shrike user ;)
