If, for whatever reason, console access is not appropriate for
you and your non-root users are required access to your system's
diskette drive, this can be done using the floppy group. Add the user(s) to the floppy group using the tool of your choice. For
example, the gpasswd command can be used
to add user fred to the floppy group:
Now, user fred is able to access the system's diskette drive
from the console.
