Hi Folks,
Well, the quick consensus is that it's expected behavior.
Installing sudo or writing a suid root C or perl wrapper will take
care of the problem.
Thanks for the quick answers as always,

<Original query>
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
