Lanman banged on their keyboard and produced the following arrangement of letters: - Thanks for the suggestion, Anguo, but sudo only allows a non-root user to - access a command for about 5 minutes, and I'd like to make this a permanent - change. I don't want to have to "revalidate" every time I want to mount or - unmount. If that's the case, it's just as easy to"su" to root, and run the - mount/umount commands instead. - - Lanman Well, you have received many good advices from people who obviously know much more than me. As I said I just learned to use sudo and I certainly don't know all the functions and uses of that command. However you say that "sudo only allows a non-root user to access a command for about 5 minutes". The way I have set up some commands with sudo, the changes are permanent. Usually adsl-start and adsl-stop must be run from root but I have set it up so that our home users can all do it. I wrote a bash script that includes sudo adsl-start and sudo adsl-stop and the commands still work the next day. Anguo
