How do I give non-root users access to the floppy drive in Linux?

[petulia3478]

To enable a non-root user to have access to the system's floppy drive, add that user to the floppy group:

# /usr/bin/gpasswd -a user_name floppy
Adding user user_name to group floppy

To remove a non-root user from the floppy group:

# /usr/bin/gpasswd -d user_name floppy
Removing user user_name from group floppy
