Normally only read permision is provided to such directories. I normally set the permissions to 777 for such shared directories. [/] the directory has *loads* of files, so setting this recursively is painful, besides as you can figure, it ends up giving everyone access too. not a nice idea. so dropped this. raj shekhar: [quote] The short answer is that you can make an entry in the /etc/fstab files as dev/hda9 /mnt/LLHOME2 ext3 noauto,owner,noexec,rw,users 00 [/] did this. first, it needs root permission to mount manually. then it loads the whole partition, that includes everyone else's home directories too. finally, when i did try this, i discovered as the user LL on fedora, when i go deeper into the folders, i still get permission denied. *** turns out this is quite an interesting problem. to refresh: LL is a user under RH8 on partition hdc7. LL is a user under fedora on partition hdc13. LL of fedora wants to access all the files in the home directory of LL of RH8, without involving root [except maybe to mount once]. but LL should not be able to access other user's home directories. and should be able to read+write to his RH8 home directory. :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
