| I am trying to use mknod from a user other then root and I am getting a
message that says I must be superuser. How do I change this so that
users other then root can execute this command ?
Thanks

set the SUID permission bit. Then remove your appendix with a rusty

Use sudo. You can set which users are allowed to use the
command. Read the sudo man pa
