Am i missing something??? Did you follow the full instructions? What does ls -ld /home/office show? It should be owned by uid 500 and should have at least permissions set to 700 (rwx --- ---) In my case, since I was granting group permissions, I set the group ownership of the mount point to gid 777 and set the permissions to rwx for owner root, rwx for the group and 000 for the rest. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
