No. The access rights depend on the owner:group permissions of the mountpoint directory. The _act_ of mounting depends on the mounter's ownership of the corresponding device files. So in order to to only allow wheel group members to access a certain mount point for ug=rwx, the permissions of that mount point have to be set. This is done independently from what /etc/fstab is for (which controls the _act_ of mounting if all requirements - as mentioned above - are met). However, there _are_ options that can be included in fstab for applying a certain mask to files contained in a mounted directory, see -m and -M in "man mount_msdosfs" for example. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
