Hi folks,

Anyone with any ideas why I cant execute mount with sudo?  Can execute
others in sudoers (eg yum).  This is really killing me!

Here's the commands and the response, below my sudoers (bottom for the
line in question).  Any help really appreciated.

Regards,
Morgan.

[morgan at morgansmachine ~]$ sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
Sorry, user morgan is not allowed to execute '/bin/mount /dev/fd0
/mnt/floppy' as root on morgansmachine.
[morgan at morgansmachine ~]$ which mount
/bin/mount
[morgan at morgansmachine ~]$
