Hi friends, Currently my fstab file shows the following : /dev/hda7 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0 /dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto,owner 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/hda1 /windows vfat uid=500,users 1 1 #/dev/hda5 /ddrive vfat uid=500 1 1 /dev/hda6 /funstuff vfat uid=500 1 1 If I mount /dev/hda5 in /ddrive every user gets access to this directory. I tried changing the ownership as well as rights of /ddrive but once I reboot the rights get changed to rwxr_xr_x as a result all users can access this mount point. ( due to that I have right now commented that particular line in fstab ) Is there any way by which I can allow access to this mounting point to only one user ?
