[warning: not sure if this next part is simply due to my inexperience] i found that the user was not able to mount to anything hanging directly off of '/' (ex. /mnt /cdrom /floppy) - even if i messed with the perms. to solve this, i created the desired mount points (simply empty directories) in that user's $HOME (with user ownership, group, and rwx perms). this solved the problem. just make sure that your users only try to mount to ~/mntpoint hth, epi > I've went thru the handbook and also Dru Lagvigne's (is that right?) > articles on OnLamp to no avail. > _______________________________________________ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
