You're on the right track. I haven't been following your thread, but here is what I have in my fstab that allows the required user to mount, or rather, it gets automounted and he has full access: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windoze vfat rw,noexec,uid=500,gid=500,umask=077 0 0 Change the uid/gid to your own; change the umask to the permissions you want. 077 means user 500 has full access, but nobody else, ie, chmod 700. Hope this help. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
