now remember that this means it's *world* writable, so if there's ever
someone on the system who you don't want to give complete unfettered
read/write/delete/create access, you'll want to rethink this slightly.

a more secure approache would be to mount it umask=007,gid=nnn where
gid is the numeric group id of the specific people you want to give
access too.
