that is, if you're concerned about restricting access at all, correct? I've seen this response before & have always been a little confused. I dual boot a laptop with win2k & just have the following in my /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 /windows vfat noauto,user 0 0 I can `mount /windows` and write to it just fine [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo "test">/windows/test.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /windows [ ...other stuff.. ] -rwxr--r-- 1 kenneth kenneth 5 Aug 23 00:46 test.txt I don't think I'm in any special windows-writing groups: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp$ groups kenneth adm cdrom audio www-data src video xcdwrite scsi www-adm for a laptop nobody else in the world is ever going to use, just specifying 'user' is fine.. right? (I've given this out as advice before, so I just want to clarify, but if I'm correct, the OP may be interested too) thanks, Kenneth -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
