Floppy drive problem
Hello everybody.
I'm trying to mount my floppy drive. When I su to root, I can access all the files on it just fine, but when I do it as any user, I get a permission denied error. I tried chmod'ing the directory, but it didn't help.
Your help would be appreciated.

Type groups as user to check if you're in the floppy group, if not: adduser benw floppy , logout&login again for the change to take effect.
Your /floppy should look like:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root floppy 4096 Dec 11 2003 floppy
If not:
chmod 755 /floppy
chgrp floppy /floppy

Thanks for the reply.
Okay, I did the adduser, it was successful, then I did the chmod and chgroup, they were successful, but /floppy still appears as:
drwxr--r-- 2 root root 7168 Dec 31 1969 floppy
I logged out and back in but still get:
bash: cd: /floppy: Permission denied
The floppy in the drive is good and it can be read perfectly by root.
Any ideas?

If it's mounted by root it could look like you posted. Does /floppy look the same after you have unmounted it?
This is the line in fstab I have for it: /dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,users,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0
