Cannot Eject a Floppy Disk

Problem  

Bug ID: 4948512 

You cannot eject a floppy disk from the floppy disk drive by using the floppy disk icon on the desktop. An error message says that only the root user can eject the floppy disk. This problem occurs if the floppy disk icon is mounted on the desktop by one user, and then a second user logs in and tries to use the icon to eject a floppy disk. 

Solution  

Change user to users in the /etc/fstab file for fd0.
