(or in this case the faked permissions for FAT) what you should do instead is change your fstab entries to look something like this: /dev/hda6 /c-fat vfat rw,umask=007,gid=120 0 2 check /etc/group to see what the numeric gid number for group `fat' is and use that instead of my 120 example. also change that last 2 to a 0 if you don't want these filesystems fscked at boot. (yes there is a fsck.msdos for *nix its in the dosfstools package) another option is using umsdos which lets you have *nix filesystem features (such as permissiosn) on the DOS filesystem (via an ugly hack that leaves funky files littered about your dos filesystem) -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
