However, this can be done by creating a special UID or GID for 'df' and putting
the appropriate devices in that user ID or group:

-rwsr-xr-x   1 check    check      14356 Feb  2  1985 /bin/df
brw-------   1 check    check      6, 11 Sep 24 09:53 /dev/w0a
brw-------   1 check    check      6, 13 Feb  7  1985 /dev/w0b
