If not, what is? I had a bear of a time trying to get that to work. I wound up deciding it wasn't that important, but I was told sometime after that about the uid and gid flags. I'd suggest creating a group (if a suitable one doesn't already exist) and adding users who need write access to the filesystem to this group. The 'user' parameter will allow any user to mount the filesystem (files will still be owned by root) and only that same user to umount it. If you use 'users' instead, any user can mount and umount the filesystem. > I could find no explanation of the kudzu option in the man pages for > mount(8) nor fstab. Does anyone know what it does? I'm guessing it causes the kudzu daemon to monitor the device and automount it when there is media inserted. -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin Attachment:
