The kudzu entry is causing the entries to change and the mountpoints to disappear. Users will be able to mount it if you change owner to user. I don't understand exactly how kudzu works, but it looks for new hardware and creates the mountpoint and the fstab entry on bootup for devices it handles. A google search or a search of the limbo-list archives may help. -- gerry _____ 0/0 /__
