You need to set it as a mount option, so the kernel can munge it for you. If you look at the manpage for mount (8), it lists all the options for mounting a vfat filesystem. It looks to me like you want uid= and gid= and maybe umask=. The syntax would be /dev/sda1 /media/usbkey vfat uid=123,gid=123,umask=002,user,noauto 0 0 Take care, -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | <moshez> ok, I will not marry Jo-Con- | | steve@lobefin.net | El's cow. | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
