Re: [newbie] make partition/dir r/w dor all
Hi, Ok, this was given to me by Izak and done yesterday...still working after overnight reboot...Thanks to all that responded to my question.. *** Just chmod /mnt/backup to 1777. That way it is sticky and writable by any one. Sticky means anyone can create files, but you cannot delete files created by someone else. Similar to /tmp.

You can turn off msec. Go to /usr/sbin and rename the "msec" executable to "DISABLEmsec". If you ever want to re-enable msec just rename the executable back to the original "msec". This is fine if you know how to secure your system and know what permissions you want on your directories. I'm no fan of msec. e Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
