Here's an example of my fstab entry:
/dev/hda1 /c vfat defaults,uid=bigby,gid=bigby,umask=007 1 2
The umask makes the files and directories rwx for user and group, and NOT readable, writable, or executable by other. The bigby is my family group. Anyone in my family can read, write, or search/execute the files. Noone else can do a thing.
Ok, I guess thats a good idea. I still wonder though how the group-thing works. If someone is in group bigby, say user1. Then she logs on to userid user1 and gets the permissions for user1. Are all group permissions assigned automatically, or do you have to change group in some way?
