RE: To and CC screwy...

["Andrews, Bryan (CCI-Atlanta)" <Bryan Andrews cox com>]

Why does the list get cc'd on some posts rather than the To: field? For some
reason it doesn't even show up in outlook (I have to look in the headers).

		Here's my $.02:

		On RH6.0, I can mount a floppy as a user (with the proper
entry in
		/etc/fstab) as long as the floppy is using the ext2 file
system.  That's
		just the command

		    >mount /mnt/floppy

		and all is well.


		However, if it's using the DOS filesystem the syntax is:
		  
		    >mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

		But then I get the same message, that only root can do this.
I just
		accepted this and su if I have to mount a dos floppy.  I can
still unmount
		the floppy as a regular user (umount /mnt/floppy) but can
only mount a
		non-ext2 floppy as root.  If anyone knows a way around this,
I'd love to
		know.


		Making an ext2 file system is simple enough.  I'm at work
away from my box
		right now but I think the command is /sbin/mkfs.ext2
/dev/fd0.  That
		should make the ext2 file system on the floppy, after which
you should be
		able to just run the mount /mnt/floppy command as a user.
Linuxconf has
		an easy way of making both floppy and cdrom mountable by a
user.  If
		you're not familiar with it, drop me a personal e-mail &
I'll reply when I
		get off work.  ;)
