Has anyone written a program so that the general user can mount and
unmount floppy filesystems? I don't want to make /etc/mount and
/etc/umount setuid, and mount can't be run as a normal user.

What I have in mind is something that does an fsck to verify there is a
good filesystem on the floppy, mounts the floppy, and changes the
permissions on the device so people can't tar/bar/etc to the floppy while
it is mounted.
