Is there any program like fdmount to let users mount ZIP drives without having
to be root?

Put something like this in your /etc/fstab file:

/dev/sda            /zip            auto       rw,user,noauto

   ^                  ^               ^               ^
   |                  |               |               |

or whatever       Where you        auto-detect    Read/write, allow
your ZIP disk     want to mount    filesystem,    non-root to mount
device is         the drive        eg, dos/ext2   don't mount at boot

Hope this helps,

Chris.

1. run a non-root user's program from a non-root user

Hi Folks,

Here is the problem.

I have user A and user B (non-root users)

I need for user A to initiate a job as user B. How can this be done?

As you know, I can do this as root. I can start a process from root as
another user in the system (cron jobs come to my mind!) Is there a way
to do this for non-root users? I believe I need to be able to do
something like  as user A
"su - B" without being prompted for password.

Appreciate suggestions in advance.

Pasha

BTW: I am using AIX 4.3.10
