[PLUG] Letting non-root mount floppy/cdrom


We recently got two new machines to run solely linux (woohoo!) down here in 
the comp. sci. dept at St. Joe's.  I want to be able to give non-root users
the ability to mount/umount cdroms and floppies and also powerdown.  I thought
the easiest way to do this was to put a script owned by root in /usr/local/bin 
to do 'mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy -t vfat' or whatever, then 'chmod +s' it, 
but that doesn't seem to be working.  Any suggestions ?

Jason
