Thanks. Since I don't yet know what fstab is, and since the "sudo" suggestion offered by Todd sounds like it is exactly what I was looking for, I'm now wrestling my way through that process. I do have a pretty good book. But I'm not one to read those things from cover-to-cover. I tend to "discover" my way through them. :-) And with the occasional hint here-and-there, I tend to learn pretty quickly. At this point, the terminal window I'm trying visudo in is just about worn out. So I must be getting close. :-) I've gotten it to open the sodoers, now I just need to get it to LET ME EDIT the darn thing.
Thanks to all for you help on this one. mucho gracias. ht {{{{{{{{{{{{{{ BEGIN ORIGINAL MESSAGE }}}}}}}}}}}}}} ----SUBJECT ----> Re: root, superusers, and mounting...
