Change the ownership and permissions after you mount /home/restricted. This will set it on the root of the filesystem you have mounted. The mounted filesystem root obscures the mount directory, so any changes made prior to the mount are also obscured. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
