Hello. I've been using MINIX V1.3 with Bruce Evans' protected mode patches
(V1.4a floppy driver, and Bruce Evans' tty driver) for a couple of months
now with no (well only minor) problems. However I have a couple of questions:

1)	I've been using elle under root and other accounts with no problem
	until recently. However, recently I must have changed something
	(I've no idea what) and I can still execute elle with no problems
	from root, but when I execute it from another account I get the 
	following error message:

	SBXERR: 0 Swapout creat err(A,B,C,D,S,X,?)

2)	I am not too familiar with *NIX system administration. How can I
	set things up so that any account can mount/umount fd0,at0,at1,
	but only root can mount/umount hd1,hd2,hd3,hd4?

3)	Which utilities ought to have the SETUID bit set?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide -
