Generally the rule setting permissions on fd0 is in 50-udev.rules, which |
| 18 |
can be edited to taste, or you can copy the appropriate rule to |
| 19 |
10-local.rules and make the change there. This does seem odd, unless |
| 20 |
there's supposed to be some other mechanism in place to change the |
| 21 |
permissions dynamically when a floppy is inserted. I'm only running |
| 22 |
udev-115-r1 which doesn't have this problem. |
