Thanks for the response. Floppy is automounted (subfs), here is the
entry for floppy in /etc/fstab


/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs
fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0

I did the following

As user A
* /sbin/mke2fs /dev/fd0
* cp /tmp/junk.txt /media/floppy

The above worked fine. Logged out and loged in as user B

* cp /tmp/bala.txt /media/floppy
And I got the following error message

"cp: cannot create regular file `/media/floppy/bala': Permission
denied"

Suggestion please.

Thanks,
Bala

floppy. Is this the inteded behaviour. Or what do I need to do so that
the floppy is writable by anybody. This problem is seen in "SUSE LINUX
Enterprise Server 9 (i586) - Kernel 2.6.5-7.97-smp (2)."
