Suppose you have the device mounted on, say, /mnt/test. If you issue "chmod a+rwxt /mnt/test, you should get the desidered result. In fact, this way you say that /mnt/test is "sticky", i.e. everybody can write on it. The line below is the output of "ls -l | grep tmp" in my "/". Note the final "t" in the permissions... drwxrwxrwt 16 root root 20480 Dec 23 14:22 tmp It surely works with directories, I guess it should in your situation, maybe with some slight changes.
