Thanks for the suggestions all. I settled on /dev/sda8 /media/sda8 vfat umask=0707,gid=100 0 0 That is, read, write and execute to members of the gid, which is 'users'. This makes it easy to change the group should I wish to later. It also doesn't give away mounting privs, which I wanted to retain. -- Best, Marc -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
