	This may have been mentioned before (I recently upgraded to
3.0), but is there a workaround or fix for this:  ejecting a mounted
floppy changes the permissions of /etc/mtab so that you can't do a df.

% df
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
df: /etc/mtab: Permission denied
