The third and fourth columns of the output show the owner and group, respectively.
To add the user to the device group, edit the /etc/group file. On the line starting
with lp, which defines the lp group, add the GSX Server user’s user name. You must
make this change as the root user. The following line provides an example for a user
whose user name is userj.
lp::7:daemon,lp,userj
The next time the user logs on to the host, the changes take effect.
Special Notes for the Iomega Zip Drive
On Windows 95 or Windows 98, use of older drivers for the Iomega Zip drive may
cause the guest operating system to lock up intermittently at boot time or during
installation of the guest operating system. The newest Iomega drivers work reliably in
our tests. They are available at www.iomega.com/software/index.html.
