Can't do that. FAT partitions can't carry permissions so if it is mounted as one user, other won't be able to use it. You can put a mount command in .bashrc for each user and grant appropriate mount privilages to each of the user/group in /etc/fstab. Downside is only one of them can use it at a time. No more concurrent-linux. But if it hosts my uncles windows98 partition with a gig of songs for my cousins, so be it..:) Shridhar ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
