I created a new group 'windows' with the `addgroup` command, then mounted it in /etc/fstab as that group with the umask of 007. Then I added myself to the group, of course. At first I was hesitant to add the execute bit, but then I couldn't store executable stuff on the windows partition. mind, I mount it with 'nosuid' to be sure that I don't have any weird hybrid viruses sneaking up on me through windows.. probably paranoia on my part though. -- Michael Janssen - Jamuraa - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG Fingerprint: 87F1 92C4 44AA 4105 B1C4 EDEC D995 9620 C00E 9159
