Mount assigns one uid/gid to the whole vfat file system when it is mounted. Man mount says that this defaults to the uid/gid of the 'current' process, which would be that which mounts it, which was root durring boot.
To get around this, add a uid= and gid= option to the mount command or the entry in /etc/fstab. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
