Re: [Plug] Controlling access to a dos partition


Try looking at the mount man pages, then set appropriate
rights
in /etc/fstab.  I just glanced, but I found an option for
umask
that looks pretty promising.  BTW, I would mount it as -t
vfat
rather than -t msdos, if you're not already.

It only takes one person to break a program if the source
