Help!

We have installed an RX23 (floppy-drive) on a DS3100, but
are experiencing some problems. root can do whatever he wants
with it (format, newfs, mount, create files), but he is the only
privileged one.

/dev/*rz4* are all writeable and readable for the world.

1. A user cannot mount the disk formated by root 
[ ufs_mount: /dev/rz4c on /my_home/mnt: Permission denied ]
(The root-directory on the diskett is owned by the user)

2.  A user cannot format the diskette:
A "rzdisk -f /dev/rrz4c" gives (after a dialogue)

> *** ERROR OCCURRED DURING COMMAND (Mode Select) ***

> /dev/rrz4c: Permission denied

	(rzdisk -f  /dev/rrz4c is  legal with the version of
	 rzdisk supplied with the RX23 )

Have anyone out there seen similar behaviour, and if yes: Is there a fix?
[ dec didn't know ].
