Re: more problems with drive mount

[James Henstridge <james daa com au>]

Is the mount command setuid root?  It needs to be for the drive mount
applet to work correctly.  To set the suid bit on it, run:
  chmod u+s /bin/mount

If you have this set, and the user option turned on in /etc/fstab for the
particular device, the command "mount /floppy" should work correctly.  If
it does, drive mount will work.

James.
