- Check out the lprotect command. You should only allow root to do the
- mounting: allowing other users is a major security risk. This hole has been
- fixed at SR10.3.
-
- To archive files you should use wbak/rbak ('wbak -dev f' to a floppy: try
- using a cartridge instead), not the invol/mtvol combination.

- Sorry, I do not know anything about mtools.
