User access to /dev/fd0* with mtools_3.5a-1



Hello

    yesterday the upgrade to version 1.2.9 was done at my home box resulting
    in user access problems to /dev/fd0 which are 660 as default using
    mtools.

    I remember with debian version 1.2.2 I fixed this problem setting the
    binary of mtools to ownership of root.floppy and having the set uid bit
    set to the group.

    But this doesn't work anymore with mtools-3.5a. Is this the wrong was,
    do I have to change the permissions of the floppydevices to 666? Or did I
    miss something else?

          Peter
