If you use the FAT file system on the backup disk, set permissions, owner and group with the umask, uid and gid parameters in the fstab. `man mount` can tell you the details. If you use a Linux file system on the backup drive, set the permissions using chmod, chown and chgrp. 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-sarge.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
