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
razor blade and smash your thumb with a hammer.  There.  You get the
idea.

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