problesm with SCo Xenix Dos Utilities

[Frank C. Paterra]

I have a problem with the dos utilities that come with sco xenix.
They used to work ok, but now after a user uses one (like dosdir,
doscp, etc.) the next user to try to access the floppy drive gets a
message saying

/tmp/00517: Permission denied
Can't sieze /dev/fd148

Or something very similar.  I called SCO and they said that are no
known problems with the dos utilities.  They had me remove the link kit
and reinstall the utilities, but the problem did not go away.  Can
anyone out there in net.land help?
