Permission problems using floppy

Hi Folks,

This must be a no brainer but I simply can't see why I can't get
no-prived users access to the floppy on a AlphaStation 200 4/233

I'm running 3.2c

Mtools works fine but they want to be able to mount it as a ufs file
system. I've tried a bunch of things. First I gave world rw access
to the floppy devices (fd0a, rfd0a, fd0c, rfd0c) which seemed to make
Mtools happy.

I can format and newfes the disk. I just can't mount it. I've tried
mount points in the users directories all the way to root mount points.

mount -vt ufs /dev/fd0a /foo
/dev/fd0a on /foo: Not owner

Where foo is owned by the non-prived user, has 777 permissions on it.

Any ideas?

Thanks
