  I'm not sure if "disk drive" is correct, i'm refering to the physical
 component of the computer where you put floppies, right? jajajjajajajja,
 poor english of mine.

  Well, I wanna ask for the philosophy in the managament of permisions in
 the floppy disks, for example, here at my university mates are reaching
 the knowledgement about the possibility of hackering remote floppy disks,
 you know, mounting remotely and accesing its information. is there anything
 inside user level to prevent that anyone could access to your floppy ??

  Actually it's not yet a problem but it could be a serious one, i see it,
 probably everyone are going to look for solutions for avoiding jokes and
 not such a jokes !!!.

  It would be nice to avoid such a disgusting situation, :-(.

thanx,
Raul.
