I solved this at home, so I don't have my fstab available right now :) but anyway I used the -o option of 'mount' to force the vfat fs to belong to the 'dos' goup, (sth like gid=95 i think) and also to force the permission mask of all files. Warning : this is the INVERSE mask, so 007 grants rwx to user and group, and nothing to others. > Any ideas how I can get no root access to my win98 > partion, or is it a Fat32 problem. nope hope this'll help Pierre-Antoine
