If you did so with suitable permissions, e.g. rwxrwxrwx, I can't see how that would happen. Though, since you've said you using FAT32 that might be half of the issue (you'd have to mount it in a way that gave everyone write access - playing with umask, dmask, and/or fmask - because you can't apply such permissions with chmod). See the mount man file for more details. FAT32 doesn't have individual ownership support, one particular user gets to own everything on it (whichever mounted it). You're left with the options of allowing everyone carte blanche (which is unsafe), dismounting and remounting for each user (hideous to manage), or reformatting with another filing system (best option). -- (Currently running FC4, but testing FC5, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
