I tried something similar - without the mount point in /etc/fstab - and found the best options was to create a folder with user=someuser group=somegroup and add the users to that group, and assure the file permissions for group were rw. In /etc/fstab i believe you can specify, in the filesystem option, the owner or the group of the mount point. -- Bandarra LiCo #544119 "Enjoy while you can 'cos you'll never know when it'll end" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
