You should ensure that it is set with perms 660.
The permissions on the device file are not important. They do not influence the permissions of the files on the mounted file system, and the user does not even need read access to the device file because mount is suid root by default. In fact even with permissions set to 000 it should still work. I think the umask, uid and gid parameters are what NiL needs. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
