As local SCSI devices get cheaper, more of our faculty are getting them on their SparcStations. This is creating a need for non-privileged users to mount/umount local disks (read/write opticals, CD-ROMs, ...). We don't want to give out the root password, nor is making mount/umount "suid" a viable choice here. I've seen the floppy tools package which lets users mount/umount floppies. Is there something equivalent for "hard disks"? Any ideas appreciated, Ric Anderson Bitnet: Ric@Arizrvax Internet: ric@cs.arizona.edu
