You can make users able to mount specific drives by adding a "user" option to their lines in /etc/fstab; see mount(8) for more details. You can also use the sudo command to grant specific users permission to do specific things as root; install the Debian sudo package and read its documentation. -- _____________________________ / \ "Dad was reading a book called | David Maze | _Schroedinger's Kittens_.
