yup, permissions of the mountpoint directory are irrelevant, they are always replaced by the permissions stored on the filesystem. (or in this case the faked permissions for FAT) what you should do instead is change your fstab entries to look something like this: /dev/hda6 /c-fat vfat rw,umask=007,gid=120 0 2 check /etc/group to see what the numeric gid number for group `fat' is and use that instead of my 120 example. also change that last 2 to a 0 if you don't want these filesystems fscked at boot. (yes there is a fsck.msdos for *nix its in the dosfstools package) another option is using umsdos which lets you have *nix filesystem features (such as permissiosn) on the DOS filesystem (via an ugly hack that leaves funky files littered about your dos filesystem) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
