For instance, if you want the partition to be owned by 500:users (500 is first user by default) you can make the line read: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win1 ntfs ro,gid=100,uid=500,umask=0222 0 0 and in this case, you could set the umask to something more restrictive, like 0227 if all users who needed access to the partition are in the users group, which I don't think is the default in FC2. Each user gets put into their own group, so you probably would keep the 0222 umask. Jonathan
