I think what you see is this: Linux requires a directory to exist before anything can be mounted there. When the mount command is executed, the mount point is `replaced' by the remote directory, including the permissions of the latter. The permissions of the local mount point only matter when the directory is not mounted. Normally, you would set permissions that will prevent a user from accidently writing to it. -- G. ``Iggy'' Geens - ICQ: #64109250 Home: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Work: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WWW: http://users.pandora.be/guy.geens/ `I want quality, not quantity.
